The Cincinnati Bengals should be commended for an inspiring performance against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday.
With Bengals' defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer mourning the recent death of his wife Vikki, the team played its heart out in Baltimore. Carson Palmer continues to campaign for comeback player of the year averaging over 220 passing yards per game this season. He will enjoy going against a weak Houston secondary this week. But the Bengals need to shore up their own defensive backfield before Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson come to town.
Houston continues to pioneer new ways to lose football games each week. Last Sunday, the team inexplicably could not move the ball one yard into the end zone after three attempts. The Texans' defense is making winning nearly impossible as they continue to surrender big plays. The team needs to put Matt Schaub in a situation where he is not forced to chuck 50 passes in a game.
Despite momentum being overwhelmingly in the Bengals' favor, this can easily turn into a trap game. Cincinnati played off of a lot of emotion last week and Houston will be anxious to avenge a tough loss against Arizona. Look for the Texans to shock Bengals fans in a surprise win on the road Sunday.
