Week 5 – @ Cincinnati Bengals

Sunday October 6th, 2019 – 10:00 a.m.

This is the first trip for the Cardinals to Cincinnati since the Christmas Eve game in 2011.  A lot has changed since then.

This is another game that can be checked off for no frigid weather.  It’ll be fall, so anything can happen but certainly there will be no snow or sub-zero temperatures to deal with.

Instead they will have to deal with a team that still employs Andy Dalton at quarterback.  His 2018 wasn’t so hot.  He still managed to throw for 2,566-yards with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions just 11 games.

Dalton missed the last five games of 2018. The Bengals still have A.J. Green at receiver, so they will continue to be a challenging offensive team.

History: Bengals lead 6-5

Last time: November 22, 2015 – Cardinals 34 Bengals 31

Prediction: Cardinals 20 Bengals 19
