Cincinnati has righted the ship. After a rocky start and revamped offensive line not living up to offseason hype, Burrow and the Bengals (9-4) have rattled off five straight wins. A feat they weren’t even able to accomplish on their way to an AFC Championship last season. Cinci never won more than three-in-a-row last year. Joe Burrow is putting together another stellar season, now his fourth in the league. He enters this game 3rd in the NFL in passing yards, 2nd in passing touchdowns and 6th in passer rating. Over the Bengals’ five game win streak, he’s thrown 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Last week, in a 23-10 win over the Browns, he hit Trenton Irwin and Ja’Marr Chase for touchdowns. Chase matched his season high with 10 catches and 119 yards in the win. The Buccaneers (6-7) are coming off the most lopsided loss of the Brady-era in Tampa since they lost to the Saints 38-3 in 2020. The Bucs fell to Brock Purdy and the 49ers last week, 35-7. The 22-year-old Purdy who was the last pick in this past NFL Draft, took the Bucs’ defense for two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. Surrendering 35 points is well out of character for this Buccaneers defense. On average, they allow just 19.5 points-per-game, 9th best in the league and give up the 10th fewest yards-per-game this season. In the passing game, Burrow and company will have their work cut out for them as Tampa has the 6th best passing defense. The Bucs are the only first place team in the NFL with a sub-.500 record. So even though this season hasn’t been pretty for them, they are still in the playoffs as of right now. The Panthers and Falcons are both hot on their heels trailing in the standings by just game. To this point the Bucs hold the tie breaker over the Falcons, but not the Panthers. The Action Network (opens in new tab) still has the Bengals as 3.5-point road favorites against the Buccaneers.
