Bengals' Key Players to Watch Against Bills
Full Transcript
Joseph Ossai and Myles Murphy are key players to watch as the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to face the Buffalo Bills. Ossai had his most impactful game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens, recording two sacks and eight pressures.
Murphy contributed with five pressures and a batted pass that led to an interception in that same game. With Trey Hendrickson doubtful to play, Ossai and Murphy's performance will be crucial against the Bills, especially in slowing down running back James Cook, who has over 1,450 all-purpose yards this season.
Additionally, Chase Brown has set a franchise record with his sixth straight game of over 100 yards from scrimmage, showcasing his performance as one of the top five running backs during this stretch. The Bills have been strong against the pass but rank 30th against the run, allowing 148.9 yards per game, making it vital for the Bengals to establish their rushing attack early in the game.
This matchup will test the Bengals' young defensive ends and their ability to disrupt Josh Allen's offense while also maximizing their own running game strategy according to Cincy Jungle.
