The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a serious high after Week 1, where their defense actually led them to victory. A far cry from what this team had to deal with the last few seasons. The four turnovers led directly to 24 of Cincinnati’s 27 points. That includes Demetrius Knight’s fumble recovery returned for a touchdown as the first score of the season for the Bengals.<\/p>\n
Now a different test is on the horizon. The Houston Texans, with their ferocious pass rush, are ready to host Joe Burrow and company. The offense had a bit of a slow start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, especially in Goal-to-Go situations. That will need to be cleaned up, as those opportunities may not be as plentiful against this defense.<\/p>\n
We will have to see how for real these two teams are, as it will be an early litmus test for both.<\/p>\n
Here is everything you need to watch the Bengals take on the Texans for Week 2.<\/p>\n
