- Bengals are 2-0 — Joe Burrow has 461 yards and 3 TDs through two games and Tee Higgins is off to a hot start (154 yards), so Cincinnati’s passing game is carrying the offense.
- Pittsburgh’s offense has struggled (11.5 points, 175 passing yards per game); Gardner Minshew/Justin Rodgers has faced pressure, Rico Dowdle is out and Najee Warren is questionable, so the run game could be limited.
- Bengals are 3.5-point favorites — Cincinnati leads the league with eight sacks and a +3 turnover margin, while Pittsburgh’s defense has 3 INTs but the offense has yet to find traction.
