Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Francisco 49ers Analysis
Cincinnati wishes their bye was not in Week 7. The Bengals finally started playing good football after struggles to start the season. In losses to the Browns, Ravens, and Titans, the Bengals scored just 10 points per game. In their three wins, they are scoring 23.6 points per game.
It took some time, but Ja’Marr Chase finally got going for the Bengals. One of the best receivers in the league now has 556 yards receiving, which is nearly half the 1,230 yards that quarterback Joe Burrow has thrown for this season.
Looking at the NFL player stats, Joe Mixon is still the guy leading the running game, but he has just one touchdown on the ground this season. Sadly, his NFL MVP odds are still slim.
The Bengals will head home after this game for back-to-back home games. They will take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football, and then the Houston Texans to follow.
49ers’ Offense at a Crossroads
The last two weeks have been big-time struggles for the San Francisco 49ers. After steamrolling through the first five weeks, scoring 17 points in their last two games, each did not get the job done. Now, the 49ers may have to go on without Brock Purdy this week. He is in the concussion protocol and on the NFL Injury Report, not likely to play.
If Purdy cannot go in this game, it appears Sam Darnold will get the start for the 49ers. Darnold is a veteran but has thrown one pass attempt all season. This news comes with the news that Christian McCaffrey played banged up last week. He still goes into the end zone and has nearly 600 rushing yards.
Deebo Samuel missed the game as well, which opens up space for Brandon Aiyuk as the team’s top receiver. The 49ers, despite the injuries, rank 2nd in NFL Team Stats for scoring with 28.7 points per game.
San Francisco will take their bye after this week, which may be much needed. Following that, they are at Jacksonville. San Francisco 49ers lines are hard to determine right now with their injuries.
