Why the Bengals can cover

Quarterback Joe Burrow is one of the best players at his position because of his ability to distribute throws between defenders and make big plays.

He has two games with more than 300 passing yards and at least three passing scores. Last week, Burrow threw for 392 yards and five passing touchdowns.

Receiver Ja’Marr Chase is an explosive playmaker who is quick enough to get any catch into the end zone. In 2024, the 24-year-old ranks eighth in receptions (29), second in receiving yards (493) and first in receiving touchdowns (5). In his last outing, Chase had 10 catches (12 targets) for 193 yards and two touchdowns. Find out who you can support at SportsLine.

Receiver Wan’Dale Robinson excels in the slot, using his close-range burst to shake up defenders. The Kentucky product recorded 32 receptions for 230 yards and two touchdowns. On September 26 against the Cowboys, Robinson had 11 grabs for 71 yards. Find out who you can support at SportsLine.
