NFL Week 8 Primer: Washington Redskins (4-3) vs Cincinnati Bengals (3-4)

Cheers to everyone who is making the trip to London this Sunday to watch the Bengals take the trip across the pond for the very first time to face the Washington Redskins. With this being such a high profile game and the first in-person exposure of the Bengals to Europe, I’ll be absolutely gutted if this ends up being a damp squib. And yes, I have been waiting all year to use this British slang because quite frankly it’s ace compared to what we say on a regular basis. That said, everything you need to know and more for Sunday’s kickoff is below! Who Dey!
