It’s a catfight in Ford Field in Week 6 with the Detroit Lions welcoming the Cincinnati Bengals for a rare visit. The Lions will look to bounce back from two last-second, 19-17 losses on long game-winning field goals in the last three weeks and notch their first victory of the Dan Campbell coaching era. The Bengals lost to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, a game where the two teams missed five potential game-winning field goals in the fourth quarter and overtime.
