The Cincinnati Bengals are off to their best start since the 2018 season. Now sitting at 3-1, very few would have predicted the Bengals to be atop the AFC North through the first four weeks. Well, here they are and ready to challenge the Green Bay Packers in a game that just got a whole lot more interesting.
The Packers will look to try and extend their three-game win streak before divisional games begin. Cincinnati has already faced two teams from the NFC North, including a win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 followed by a loss to the Chicago Bears.
Green Bay will be the Bengals’ toughest test to date. With wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Vikings, this Cincinnati team has benefitted from a strong start, mostly thanks to floundering opponents. However, that doesn’t take away from the fact that they have a ton of young talent that could pose a serious threat to this ailing Packers team. This Green Bay team is banged up but still the clear favorites in Week 5.
Let’s take a look at three key matchups the Bengals could exploit in this week’s matchup.
