Why
the Bengals can cover
Despite their 0-2 start, the Bengals remain a talented team on both sides of
the ball. Cincinnati currently ranks 10th in the NFL in total defense (288
yards allowed per game) and second in pass defense (128.5 yards). They’re
allowing 21 points per game. Defensive end Trey Hendrickson is a standout
pass-rusher, consistently putting opposing quarterbacks under pressure. The
29-year-old has recorded 12 total pressures, seven hurries, and two sacks so
far.
Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt is a physical defender with impressive
straight-line speed, allowing him to close gaps quickly. In two games, the
Nebraska alum has tallied nine total tackles, two pass breakups, and one
interception. Linebacker Logan Wilson is another key contributor, always
finding his way to the ball. He leads the team with 24 total tackles, including
12 in each of the last two games. Check SportsLine for more insight on who to
back.
Why the Commanders can cover
Despite having a rookie quarterback, Washington boasts one of the NFL's most
explosive offenses. The Commanders are averaging 362.0 yards per game this
season, ranking sixth in the league. They've been especially strong in the
running game, averaging 176.5 rushing yards per game, the third-highest in the
NFL.
In last week's win over New York, Washington rushed for 215 yards. Running
back Brian Robinson Jr. led the charge with 17 carries for 133 yards. So far
this season, Robinson Jr. has accumulated 173 rushing yards and a touchdown on
29 carries, averaging an impressive 6.0 yards per carry. He’ll now look to
exploit a Cincinnati defense that is allowing 159.5 rushing yards per game.
