Bengals are facing Nick Mullens this week

[Whatever]

Vikings also lost their starting QB and were going with Dobbs who did OK a coupe games.  Since then Dobbs has been bad and Vikings considering benching him.  That finally happened in Sundays game as he could not complete any passes. In 2nd half Dobbs was benched.  Vikings went to now a 3rd QB and the Vikings vs Raiders game ended 3 to 0.  Vikings hoped Jefferson back would help Dobbs, but Jefferson injured again very fast.  I doubt Bengals see Dobbs Sunday because Vikings are sick of him. Vikings go to 3rd starting QB this season.

So Bengals don't have Burrow, but Vikings come into Cincinnati all messed up.  To say they miss Jefferson and their starting quarterback is an under statement.  Vikings can't complete any passes and score no points, and have no offense.

At least Browning, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon and others are moving the ball and scoring some points. Vikings against Raiders was worst scoring NFL game in decades, and it had nothing to do with weather in a domed stadium.

GO BENGALS

What scares me about this one is a Saturday game, so this will be back to back short weeks with the Monday nighter going deep into OT.  Fatigue will definitely be something to watch out for.
