Jets Over Bengals

Football fans that love a good defensive matchup will certainly love this game between the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets as early signs indicate these teams will be two of the best in the AFC.

While the Bengals went on to win the AFC North in 2015, the Jets fell just shy of earning a Wild Card spot with a 10-6 record. Early signs point to this game coming down to the wire in the fourth quarter, and now that Ryan Fitzpatrick is back at quarterback for New York, don’t be surprised if the veteran quarterback ends up being the difference maker.

It’s hard to believe the Jets were uncertain about whether Fitzpatrick would be their starter for the 2016 season, but the quarterback seems ready to pickup right where he left off last season. Thanks to a dynamic duo at wide receiver with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, Cincinnati’s defense will certainly have their hands full in the regular-season opener.
