Bengals at Chargers Sunday Night Football

[kevin]

The Friday word is that Higgins might play on Sunday Night Football for Bengals.   Burrow having both Chase and Higgins improves Bengals chances of winning greatly against Chargers giving up the fewest points in NFL.  Chase AND Higgins for Burrow can beat a good defense.  I now like Bengals chances to WIN and climb to 5-6 before the bye week, with 6 games left to try to get to 6-6 and maybe 10 or 11 wins on the regular season. Because you can't double team Chase and double team Higgins, one of them has to be in single coverage, and that's where Burrow will beat them.

Another key to the game is Bengals Defense can't just stink Sunday Night.  Chargers have a top notch Defense, and so Bengals better bring some Defense to the game also.  

Chargers are great at sacking QB's and Burrow gets hit on every play.  However with Chase and Higgins, if Burrow can read the blitz coming and hit the open gaps the blitz creates.  Burrow even back to LSU days, his strongest area is being able to see the whole field and hit the open man like basketball. Burrow is also great in a Hurry Up Offense, but Bengals don't get the plays in fast enough for Burrow to wear out Defenses as he has the ability to.  The Bengals could catch Defenses with too many players on the field penalty a lot, but Bengals coaches are slow getting the plays in, it's not Burrow's fault on that.
