Coming out of their Week 7 bye, the Cincinnati Bengals see to proceed the small two-game win streak and make it three in a push to genuinely appear that they are back on track. They’ll be up against another NFC West rival — the as it were division they’ve had any victory against this season (3-0 vs. the NFC
West, 0-3 vs. everybody else) — this time confronting the group that’s looked the most excellent from that division, the San Francisco 49ers in Levi’s Stadium. It won’t be simple to expand that winning streak to three, but it is far from impossible or improbable.
One or two of weeks back, I called this group a juggernaut and made the strong claim that this matchup against the Niners in their house would without a doubt be the hardest remaining amusement on the plan for the Bengals. In spite of dropping their final two diversions after a flaring hot 5-0 begin, I adhere by this claim. Do not let the final couple of weeks fool you into considering this will be a cakewalk, the 49ers are still a really great group.
Yes, they did lose to two groups that they, on paper, are much way better than but 1. It’s imperative to include setting to these misfortunes, such as the climate within the Cleveland amusement or the mounting wounds that have contributed to their battles, and 2. We’re Bengals fans. They do the same thing all the time.
So, in spite of the fact that they have battled as of late, I still solidly accept this will be the hardest diversion cleared out on the plan for the Bengals. So, here are five 49ers in specific who I think will make this return from the bye week additional troublesome.

Is there a running back that’s way better than Christian McCaffrey right presently? I think you’ll be able make the case for a few others but, to me, he’s the cream of the edit so distant this season. Looking at fair his affect as a rusher, he leads the alliance in hurrying yards (598), is moment in hurrying touchdowns (8), and is eighth in yards per endeavor (4.8). That’s fair what he brings to the 49ers’ run amusement.
The thing about McCaffrey is that he’s flexible and may be a dependable weapon in any group he’s on passing diversion as well. He’s one of– on the off chance that not the– best-receiving backs within the alliance. McCaffrey has driven all running backs in accepting yards since he was drafted in 2017 with about 4,000 yards, agreeing to StatMuse. As it were Saints’ Alvin Kamara and Chargers’ Austin Ekeler come indeed near to that sum amid that same period, each other running back’s generation as collectors out of the backfield may be a distant cry from those three.
Through seven diversions, McCaffrey is set to have over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and 25+ all-purpose touchdowns, which would be an all-time season for a player at hisposition. Talking of touchdowns, the Stanford item appears to continuously fair discover his way into the conclusion zone, to an degree never seen some time recently in NFL history, as, in spite of their misfortune to the Vikings on Monday Night, McCaffrey broke the all-time record for most diversions in a push with a landing, coming to 16 recreations in a push where he has put 6 focuses (or more) on the board, passing the record of 15 held by both previous Redskin (presently Commanders) John Riggins and previous Charge O.J. Simpson, concurring to Donning News.
Ideally, Cincy breaks that amazing streak this up and coming Sunday.
