Sunday afternoon, the Cincinnati Bengals will take the field at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to face the New Orleans Saints.

The Cincinnati Bengals ended up on the losing end of the Battle of Ohio in their Thursday night matchup against the Cleveland Browns. In the divisional battle for control of the AFC North, Cincinnati was blown out 24 - 3. Andy Dalton and the Bengals offense couldn't get anything going and the Bengals defense couldn't stop the Browns. After Cleveland took control early, they never relinquished it. Sunday's game could be more of the same for the Bengals because they will face a New Orleans defense that has been known to clamp down on teams and a New Orleans offense that can put points on the board at will if given the chance. Cincinnati can't afford to let New Orleans get out to a fast start or they will be in trouble.

The New Orleans Saints will come into this game after a tough divisional loss as well. New Orleans fought the San Francisco 49ers hard but the 49ers escaped with a 27 -24 overtime win. New Orleans has always been tough to beat at home and they nearly pulled the game out at the end. But a pass interference call on a push off by Saints tight end Jimmy Graham wiped out the potential game winning touchdown. The Saints will have another tough opponent on their hands with the Bengals as Cincinnati tries to erase the memory of a blowout loss. New Orleans wants to forget their last loss and remain in control of a weak NFC South division.
