Sure hope so, very valuable players, Bates might be our best player on D and Higgins might be our best WR but other
guys can step up and unlike in the past I have some confidence in this happening. Our DL is really helping out our LB's
and Secondary and I like the guys we have at depth at Safety behind Jessie.

With the way Chase and Boyd have been playing along with Auden having a decent game and Irwin being around we
could definitely be in a worse situation right now. Hope Waynes finally starts earning that paycheck.

Yep.  And I see THIS Bengal's defense as such a strength right now against the run that it helps to stop the biggest asset of their team, their rushing attack.  They have solid WRs in Marvin Jones, Jr and DJ Chark, though, and without Bates it is a real concern.

This one might be on the offense's ability to outscore them instead of relying on the defense and doing "just enough". 

My early pick for player of the game is Mixon.  I have a feeling he is going to have a huge night and wants to ball out on National TV.
