6. Cincinnati Bengals
Last week: 6th
Maybe more people are talking about the Bengals than I am seeing, but why aren’t more people talking about the Bengals?
Joe Burrow has been pretty much a guaranteed 3 touchdown passes every single week, and is playing at an MVP level. The Cincinnati defense hasn’t been perfect, but they’ve certainly made massive improvements from a year ago.
And this team’s identity – its weapons on offense – are all showing out and playing like superstars.
This Bengals team looks like it’s ready for a deep playoff run. With Joe Burrow playing as well as we’ve seen this season, attacking every level of the field and – most importantly – healthy?
The Bengals should scare everyone in the AFC.
They took care of business in Madrid against the Atlanta Falcons, notching their 6th win of the season. They will face the Steelers in Week 10 in what will be an epic matchup for the top of the AFC North, at least for now.
5. Buffalo Bills
Last week 5th
Bills play Monday night against Vikings***
If it feels like we’ve been saying the same things over and over again this year about the Buffalo Bills, it’s because we have.
The Bills are completely dependent on Josh Allen, and that’s really not a bad thing. Allen is the straw that stirs the drink. He’s the catalyst for everything with this team. He is an MVP for a reason, and we see it week after week when the Bills take the field.
Now, Allen is about to get put to the test significantly with a road game on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
Obviously, this is going to be one of the most anticipated matchups of the week. It’s not all about Josh Allen, but seeing Allen – the league’s most ridiculous offensive weapon – go up against the Brian Flores defense?
That is appointment viewing.
