Kansas City Chiefs: Predicting result of every game in 2018
Week 7 – Kansas City Chiefs vs Cincinnati Bengals (Travis)
The Cincinnati Bengals have seen a massive overhaul in their coaching staff this offseason, but they were unable to move on from head coach Marvin Lewis. It’s hard to predict what the offense and defense will look like when both are under new coordinators.
Kansas City fans can relate with Bengals fans as they continue to trot out quarterback Andy Dalton. He’s coming off the worst two seasons of his career since joining the team, and if they can’t move the ball this year, it will be another offensive coordinator out the door.
Even with some talented weapons on offense, the Bengals were the worst offense in the league last season. While some offseason wonders and moves could help, I don’t think the offensive line will be improved enough to handle some packages the Chiefs will use to exploit those weaknesses.
Cincinnati has the weapons on defense to really give Patrick Mahomes some struggles. One of the most talented defensive lines in the league will look to bring the pressure. They also have three solid cornerbacks mixed with safeties like rookie Jessie Bates and Shawn Williams. I fully expect this to be a major defensive showing between both sides.
