Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said the team plans on running the football in their Wild Card playoff game, even if RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (hamstring) is out of the lineup. ‘We’re going to prepare to run the ball like we do every week and hopefully BenJarvus is healthy,’ Gruden said. ‘He’s got a little twinge right now, but it looks like he’s going to be fine. It will be important to us … We have other backs also that can run the ball. We’re not going to change our plan at all. It never varies. We have a good run plan going in, but Houston’s a good run defense as we all know. It’s going to be important to try to force the issue.’
