Another interesting stat is that Brissett threw for 12+ yds/att. That's ridiculous.
i think they are going to get Mixon back, who is a TD machine. He rarely runs for big yards, but he seems to always get a TD or two somehow, on short yardage plays. Hopefully Saunders/Nnadi/Jones put a stop to that. Outside the 20 yard line, I expect Bolton to hold Mixon down.
Apparently they don't have much of a pass rush, or at least their fans don't believe they do.
God, I hope they're dumb enough to single up Kelce.
But really their defense doesn't sound that impressive. But then again, a lot of CPers believe our defense is trash, so maybe they have a large percentage of fans as delusional as we have here.

Their defense statistically is middle of the pack against the run and pass, but that’s despite playing against an absolute garbage group of QBs. Their pass rush is one of the worst in football by almost all statistics, also despite playing against horrible QBs.
We’ve seen Mahomes light up top tier defenses. No defense really scares me with 15 and a healthy supporting cast.
The Bengals defense is absolutely not a top tier defense by practically any metric. If anything their defense is worse than the stats would indicate, because they’ve had it so easy all year.
