New York Jets (4-7) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-11)
The Jets are trying to prove they’re moving forward and save jobs this season. The Bengals are simply trying to win just one game at this point to keep from reaching rarified, 0-16 air.
New York has been rolling over the last few weeks, holding a three-game win streak entering this one. However, they haven’t exactly had the toughest competition. But with an offense that seems destined to put up 34 points every week now and the league’s top run defense, they’re a formidable opponent.
On the flip side, Cincinnati enters this game with yet another change at quarterback. After unceremoniously benching Andy Dalton for Ryan Finley, coach Zac Taylor apparently learned what everyone else knew already: Dalton wasn’t anywhere close to their biggest problems.
