The Panthers are coming off a shocking victory with Andy Dalton behind center. He replaced last year’s No. 1 pick, Bryce Young, and guided Carolina to a 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Carolina Panthers
Time: 1:00 p.m. (ET)
Channel: FOX
Venue: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC
The Bengals are 0-3 for the first time since 2019, Dalton’s last season in Cincinnati, when the squad started 0-11. Last week, the Washington Commanders beat the Bengals 38-33.
NFL teams are averaging 119.5 yards rushing per game, up from 112.7 last season. But the league average was 121.6 yards per game in 2022. Teams actually aren’t running more; they’re just having more success. Average rushing attempts per team per game this season going into Week 4 is 26.9 vs. 26.8 last year.
Twenty players are on pace for 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Twelve players accomplished that feat in 2023, down from 16 in 2022. There were only seven in 2021, the first year the NFL went to 17 games in the regular season.
Five teams are averaging 150 yards rushing per game and 13 are averaging 125. Only the Baltimore Ravens were above 150 in 2023 and nine teams averaged 125.
One reason why running backs are having better success is that more defenses are geared toward stopping the pass. They use lighter, more athletic linebackers and play two-high safeties. Offenses can be physical against those defensive sets and attack on the ground.
