New York Jets
The Jets are rolling as of late, on a season-high three game winning streak entering this game
with the Bengals. In all three wins the Jets scored exactly 34 points in each game.
Quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off his fourth career 300+ yard passing game throwing for
315 yards against the Raiders. In his last three games he has passed for 838 yards, seven
touchdowns and only one interception.
Perhaps this could be the game Le’Veon Bell hits the 100 rush yard mark. His best game this
season was a 70 yard performance on October 21 against the Patriots.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals are setting all sorts of records as of late, but maybe not the kind they necessarily
want to. At 0-11 they own the worst record in the NFL. Head Coach Zac Taylor’s debut season
is now the worst start in Bengals franchise history, surpassing the 0-10 mark of Dave Shula.
The team is coming off a 16-10 loss to the Steelers in week 12. They are ranked 31 st in the NFL
in points scored this season with 14.3.
One bright spot was the play of Tyler Boyd who caught
five catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. It’s his first 100+ yard receiving game since
October 6 and third of the season. This was a massive bounce back game for Boyd as he was
coming off a 0 yard performance against the Raiders last week.
Joe Mixon has rushed for 279 yards in the last three games, for an average of 93 yards over
that time.
Defensively, this team has had all sorts of problems. They are ranked 32 nd in total defence
averaging 417.3 yards against, and also ranked 32 nd in rush defence allowing an average of
166.4 yards against.
