Bengals at Chargers Sunday Night Football

[kevin]

Chargers have gave up the fewest points of any NFL team this season, and they are home with 12 man on defense crowd noise.  The Bengals could use Higgins in this one.  Now is Higgins going to play again this year, or is he just sitting on the bench waiting for the Free Agency he was denied by Bengals last March ?   Having both Chase and Higgins would help against a Chargers Defense giving up few points, and laying the hits on opposing QB's.  Burrow is maybe the most hit QB in NFL.  Forget where is Waldo, where is Higgins ?  If Higgins is like AJ Green his last season here and keeps finding reasons not to play, then Bengals spent a whole lot of franchise tag money for nothing, when that money could have been used on other areas of the team.

I like Bengals chances if Higgins plays.  If Higgins sits again, not so much. If Bengals lose this one, it's probably not going to make a whole lot of difference what Bengals do after the bye week.
