From the article

Cincy revamped its defensive front in the offseason, and it has paid dividends overall. The Bengals have stuffed 31.7% of outside-zone runs, the highest rate in the NFL -- and a good trend against Robinson, who averages an NFL-best 6.5 yards per carry on outside-zone runs with a 53.2% success rate.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Bengals' elite run defense (31.7% stuff rate) poses significant challenge to Robinson.

Robinson faces a challenging matchup against Cincinnati's revamped defensive front; the Bengals stuff 31.7% of outside-zone runs (highest in NFL), and Robinson averages an NFL-best 6.5 yards per carry on outside-zone runs with a 53.2% success rate, but Cincinnati has yielded only 0.7 yards per carry (second-fewest) when hitting the runner at or behind the line and maintains a 24.5% stuff rate on designed runs (highest in NFL), limiting big gains despite Robinson's elite 4.3 yards per carry average on runs where hit at or behind the line (best rate since 2018).
