T49.0
The Cincinnati Bengals are eager to break a three-game losing streak as they head to Dallas for a Week 14 Monday Night Football matchup. After a Week 12 bye, the Bengals suffered a heart-wrenching 44-38 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking the fourth time this season they've scored over 33 points yet still lost. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are riding momentum from their recent victory, having secured a 27-20 win against the New York Giants last Thursday. This win improved Dallas's record to 5-7, placing them third in the competitive NFC East.
Things to look out for
Zach Martin is out for the rest of the season
Cowboys' tackle Tyron Smith is set to undergo season-ending ankle surgery, causing him to miss the remaining games of the season. This injury is a significant blow for Dallas, as they will be short-handed on the offensive line during a challenging season that has not gone as planned.
Demarcus Lawrence is questionable to return
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones indicated that DeMarcus Lawrence’s chances of playing in Week 14 against the Bengals are "probably a long shot." This update follows earlier reports suggesting he might return. Lawrence remains eligible for activation from injured reserve, but his status for the game is uncertain.
Joe Burrow is elite
Joe Burrow has impressively thrown for at least three touchdowns and 300 yards in three straight games, yet the Cincinnati Bengals have lost each of those matchups. With a favorable Week 14 matchup on the horizon, Burrow could be poised for another standout performance on Monday night against the Cowboys.
Ja’Marr Chase is the best in the NFL right now
Ja'Marr Chase scored his 13th touchdown in 10 games, finding the end zone from four yards out during last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the defeat, Chase's consistent performance showcases his dominance, proving he can excel against any matchup as he continues to be a key offensive weapon for the Bengals.
