The Bengals and Washington Football Team get to face off after these teams drafted first and second overall in the 2020 draft. Unfortunately, neither team has drastically reversed their gates from last season despite both teams taking franchise players.
Joe Burrow will be looking back from one of his worst performances during what has been a really outstanding rookie season. He looked like he was a step behind what the Steelers’ defense was doing last week, and things don’t get much easier against a very highly ranked Washington pass defense.
Chase Young gets his first chance to try and show Cincinnati what they missed out on. He hasn’t exactly stuffed the box score this season, but he has flashed pretty frequently the kind of pass rusher he will like become in the future. The Bengals have had a couple of games where the offensive line hasn’t been terrible despite missing a number of starters. It will be interesting to see who will be starting where for this offensive line and how well they hold up against Washington’s pass rush.
Can the Bengals end their 14-game road losing streak against a Washington team who is also just playing for pride.
