Bills WR Watkins (calf) expects to face Bengals
Further confirmation of that belief came Wednesday based on the way Watkins talked about Manuel, the team’s backup. After a vigorous on field workout Friday and another one Sunday in Tennessee, Rex Ryan is optimistic about Watkins chances of returning to the lineup. I have this feeling he’ll be ready for this game. “Only time will tell and we’ll know later on in the week”. The last time the Bengals started a season 5-0 was in 1988 when they won their first six games. The Cincinnati Bengals rank 21st in yard per game allowed. Lastly, another concern on the offense is Sammy Watkins. “The fun part of our group is we can play a lot of different ways, and that’s what makes the versatility that we have on our team really good”. “We’ve done it every year that I’ve been here”.
The coaching staffs of the Bills and the Bengals both trace their roots to the Super Champion Baltimore Ravens of 2000.
The defensive coaching staff also featured current Bills DBs coach Donnie Henderson, current NFL Head Coach Jack Del Rio (Oakland), and former Atlanta Head Coach Mike Smith. Many predicted him to among the best running backs in the National Football League this season and assumed a trip to the Pro Bowl was a sure thing for the Bengals’ second year back. He put up 227 receiving yards in the Bengals win at Baltimore. After all, he was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft a few years ago.
It’s debatable as to whether Hill is actually playing well. They say, “Build it and they will come”.
It should be one of the key matchups in Sunday’s game.
TE Tyler Eifert had eight catches for 90 yards and two TDs on Sunday. “At the end of the day, it can’t get any better than 5-0”.
The Bills are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. The goal-say “Yes Sir”, and walk away.
“We’re always at the stadium lifting weights and tackling people and stuff, but life is really about out here with the community”, defensive lineman Domata Peko said. That’s when the Marvin Lewis Community Fund and other sponsors stepped in. EJ Manuel is going to have to step up his game big time. “That’s what they’ve done”.
The defense then did the rest, forcing a Titans punt, then securing the victory with an interception with a minute-and-a-half to go in the game.
