In 9 days, the Bengals go for it

Constant pressure from a variety of directions coming at Matthew Stafford will win this game. The key to pressure is to keep the defensive linemen in front of Matthew Stafford so he can’t step into the pocket and throw or pull the ball down and run.

Watch the fourth quarter against the Chiefs and you’ll see what I mean. Lou Anarumo dropped seven or eight into plaster coverage and rushed three or four — but the pass rush was delayed. This is also how the Cincinnati defense shut down Lamar Jackson earlier in the season.

Like many on here, I want to see the Bengals score a buttload of points against the Rams but it will take a shutdown defense to win the Super Bowl.
