The Cincinnati Bengals will travel to Florida in NFL Week 13 to face off against the Miami Dolphins.
Cincinnati showed signs of promise early in this NFL campaign. But the Bengals have drifted out of playoff contention in recent weeks. They have lost six games out of the last seven. The team has been sliding for several weeks, as they have lost three games in a row. Star rookie QB Joe Burrow is also out for the rest of the season.
This Dolphins' team, on the other hand, is enjoying something of a renaissance. Miami sits at second place in the NFL AFC East with a winning record of 7-4. The Dolphins are riding high after a dominant 20-3 win over the Jets last week. On paper, Miami is the superior team, and now they need this win to close the gap at the top of the AFC East.
