Show Caption

The Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) host the Seattle Seahawks (3-1) for an interconference matchup Sunday.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has struggled with his health this season, but rallied his team to a 34-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week. Wide Receiver Ja'Marr Chase had 15 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns.

The Seahawks have won three straight games and are coming out of their bye week. Quarterback Geno Smith tweaked his leg during the 24-3 Week 4 win over the New York Giants, but head coach Pete Carroll said he was "fine."

The two teams last faced off in 2019 when the Seahawks won 21-20 despite a 418-yard day from Cincinnati's then-quarterback Andy Dalton. Sam Hubbard sacked Russell Wilson twice. For the Seahawks, DK Metcalf had four catches for 89 yards.

Tyler Dragon: Bengals 25, Seahawks 21

Are the Bengals back? It might be too premature to answer that question but a win over the Seahawks will give all of us a better idea. The Seahawks are coming off a bye week and will be ready. This is a huge game for the Bengals because they face the 49ers and Bills after their Week 7 bye.

Victoria Hernandez: Bengals 28, Seahawks 21

The Bengals seemed to get things clicking last week with Joe Burrow's 317-yard performance and Ja'Marr Chase feeling as good as a Slurpee on a summer day. Now it's the Seahawks turn to have questions around their quarterback's health and they won't be able to muster the win on the road.

Safid Deen: Bengals 34, Seahawks 30

Joe Burrow may have found his touch last week in Arizona, tossing 192 of his 317 yards and three touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase. If the calf injury is truly behind him, the Bengals should beat the pesky Seahawks despite Seattle coming in off a bye.
