The Bengals might have the worst LB group in NFL history. I'd dead serious. I don't know if they have a guy who would be among the top-3 LBs on most teams. As a result, they can't stop the run at all, and have tons of trouble on PA passes to the TE in the middle zones. Basically, this should be a really nice game for Derrick Henry (who tore them up on Thanksgiving before the Ravens inexplicably stopped using him) and Mark Andrews. I also expect Lamar to be protected (which has been sketchy at times) and hit some longer throws. I expect DJ Turner to follow Zay Flowers a bit, so perhaps this is finally a week someone else steps up at WR. Dax Hill is an inviting target.
I think Tee Higgins being out singlehandedly swings this game. It both allows them to REALLY focus on Chase, while also not having Higgins to make some big plays down the field. I think Burrow/Chase can still make it work, but I think the Bengals will need to be more steady drives than big plays. I don't think Thanksgiving repeats itself, that had a lot of wonky stuff go against the Ravens.
