The Cincinnati Bengals visit the New York Jets Sunday in what certainly feels like a must-win game for the defending AFC champions. The Bengals enter Week 3 as one of only five teams to start the 2022 NFL season with a 0-2 record.
Arguably the league’s most disappointing team through two weeks, the Bengals have been upset on a pair of last-second field goals. Both of Cincinnati’s losses have come against below-average quarterbacks. The Bengals face another such opponent in Joe Flacco and the Jets, though New York pulled off an improbable victory of their own in Week 2.
Let’s take a look at some key statistics and information about this matchup.
