Force turnovers

The Bengals give up the third-most turnovers in the NFL (22) and that trend must continue for the Jets to be successful in Week 13. If you can believe it, the only game the Jets didn’t force a turnover this season was against the then-winless Dolphins. The Jets underestimated an underperforming team and it led to their demise.

The Bengals have been competitive in games, especially ones they didn’t turn the ball over. Winning the turnover battle will put the Jets in a much better position to win their fourth consecutive game.
