On Sunday afternoon, the Cincinnati Bengals (7-3-1) will be going for their fifth win in six games when they play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-9). The Bengals currently sit atop the AFC North, while the Bucs are in last place in the NFC South.
This past Sunday, the Bengals won their second game in a row when they beat the Houston Texans 22-13 on the road. Their defense was as good as it’s been all season in that win, holding Houston to just 248 total yards.
Through 11 games, the Bengals are seventh in the league rushing by gaining 125.6 yards per game on the ground. Quarterback Andy Dalton has an 83.4 passer rating on the year by throwing for 2,413 yards with 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu has had a pretty good season by catching a team-high 49 passes for 719 yards and five touchdowns.
The Buccaneers gave up 21 fourth-quarter points to the Chicago Bears last Sunday and ended up taking a 21-13 loss. Their defense did well to hold the Bears to just 204 total yards in that game, but their offense hurt them by turning the ball over four times.
The Bucs have only been able to score 18.8 points per game this season while allowing their opponents to score 27.3 points per game against them. Their best offensive player has been wide receiver Mike Evans, who has caught 49 passes for 841 yards and eight scores.
