One aspect that stood out the most was the fact that the Cincinnati Bengals were the worst team in the league.
The rush defense is used.
The Cincinnati defense allowed more rushing yards than any other team in the league. The defense was retooled to stop the run.
The biggest test will come on Saturday when the Cincinnati defense is tasked with shutting down the Tennessee rushing attack, led by two-time rushing champ Henry.
They are ready.
It might seem like a passing league, but it is still a run-first league, according to Mike Hilton. Everybody wants to get their offense going by running the football. The tone is set by a defense.
The run defense will be put to the ultimate test against the TennesseeTitans on Saturday.
According to the research, theTitans led the league in rushing attempts and designed run plays. Henry, who is expected to see his first action since suffering a foot injury in Week 8, averaged 117.1 rushing yards per game before getting injured, the highest average in the league.
The preparation for Henry this week was focused on getting the running back on the ground.
The schedule and format are full.

D.J. Reader said that you have to tackle him just as much as he wants to run it. You have to want to tackle him because he wants to get in that end zone.
The arrival of Reader changed the course of Cincinnati's rebuild as a franchise, not just on defense. Before he signed a four-year deal worth $53 million, the Bengal had never given that much money to an external free agent. Pass-rushers usually get the type of money Cincinnati paid out.
The director of player personnel for the Cincinnati Bengal said that he felt like he fit in with the system. He had high value because of that. We were very excited to have him.
When Sam Hubbard was signed to a four-year, $40 million extension last summer, stopping the run was a priority.
Hubbard said in July that he thinks you have the right to rush the passer. They will never be able to throw the ball if you stop the run. It all starts with that.
The Cincinnati defense faced the second-fewest pass attempts and the most rush attempts in the league in 2019.
In the league, Cincinnati ranked 13th in yards allowed per carry and fifth in rush attempts.
One of the two holdovers from the unit that started the season opener is defensive end Sam Hubbard.
The improved rush defense was attributed to the new faces in Cincinnati's locker room.
In addition to Reader, Cincinnati signed Vonn Bell to be an in-the-box safety, drafted Logan Wilson to be a starting middle linebacker and traded for B.J. Hill.
It is not just the starters who have been brought in for that reason, according to Bates last week. There are guys on this team that have roles.
The depth provided by players such as Hill and Josh Tupou will be important against Henry. The tackle went on injured reserve after hurting his foot against the Las Vegas Raiders.
It will take a lot of effort to stop Henry and the Tennessee rushing attack.
It is a task that few teams have accomplished successfully, but the Bengal are excited about it. They were built for it.
Reader said that it's a challenge they're going to accept. We're going to do our thing.
