NFL preseason Week 2: Falcons vs Bengals game preview and prediction
The Atlanta Falcons crushed the Miami Dolphins 19-3 in their NFL preseason opener. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals suffered a 36-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
The Bengals will be without star quarterback Joe Burrow once again as he continues his recovery from a calf strain. Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor is likely to start with either Trevor Siemian or Jake Browning, both of whom are battling to be Burrow’s backup.
The Falcons, on the other hand, did not give any minutes to quarterback Desmond Ridder in their win over the Dolphins. However, it will be interesting to see whether the 23-year-old, who has just four NFL regular season appearances to his name, will play Friday.
The Falcons are the favorites to beat the Bengals following their dominating win over Miami last week. Moreover, the absence of Burrow could prove to be costly for Cincinnati.
