Both teams are Super Bowl contenders this season, and while we probably will not see Joe Burrow or Jayden Daniels, this game could be the deciding factor for some of the players on the bubble of making the team.
The Bengals disappointed last season in terms of their record, and they will be looking for some impact players on defense, after being one of the worst units in the NFL on that side of the ball last season.
Washington on the other hand was the surprise team of the league, and will once again be in the running for a division title, hoping to edge out the Eagles this time around.
This is a great NFL matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
