The Jets were the 10th overall offense, and 11th scoring offense last year and they added Matt Forte. The Bengals got rid of their INT leader and their best LB is suspended.

First 6 weeks (no Burfict): 20.3 pts/gm
Final 10 weeks (Burfict): 15.7 pts/gm

And that's with Nelson being 2nd team All-Pro at S, giving Kirkpatrick over the top help.

Don't get me wrong, I predicted the Bengals will win this game, but not by holding Marshall/Decker/Forte to 3 or 10 points. They're going to pick on Kirkpatrick and Maualuga in the passing game. 20-17


You mean like both 2012 and 2013, when they went 8-8 with Ben?

2015 would have been on that list too If they didn't play 6 backup QBs in a row last year (and they even lost one of those games).
