The Bengals are down a total of 4 wide receivers, not just Chase and Higgins. This isn't high school or college. The Miami game concerns me. The NFL is truly an "any given Sunday" league.

I'll give stats and an update when I get back.

I agree. I know that many said the same about the Texans and still more will say the same thing about the Ravens. In the NFL, we've seen already that anyone can be dangerous on any given week.

That's what you get when you have a punt hit off your helmet.

I see that the Bengals are 2.5 point favorites. Honestly, I would classify this as a "pick 'em" game.

As a statistician, I love this stuff! It should be noted to all those other stat geeks out there that Evans (the receiver) caught the ball at the 23 (an initial gain of 5 yards from the 18), but loses 3 yards in his receiving total with the flip back to the 20 to Samuel. Evans gets credit for the catch, but Samuel gets the TD and the yardage from where the flip was caught. All yardage is thereby covered from the original line of scrimmage to the endzone. This is the way it reads in the box score: Brock Purdy complete pass to Mike Evans for 2 yards, lateral to Deebo Samuel for 80 yards (Eddy Pineiro Kick) 3 plays, 80 yards, 0:52
