Marshawn Lynch to miss second straight game

In what is one of the biggest games on the schedule this week, the Seattle Seahawks will pay a visit to the Cincinnati Bengals.

In its fifth week, the match is on October 11, 2015 at 1:00 PM ET and will be played at the Paul Brown Stadium. They’ve made the playoffs six times since then, including the past four seasons, albeit exiting each time after one game.

There was no question before the season that the Seattle Seahawks’ weakness was going to be on the offensive line. And Smith is all too familiar with Cincinnati’s defensive front. They are in sole possession of first place in the AFC North and defeated the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend in a 36-21 victory.

The Bengals, as mentioned last week, might be playing the best football in the NFL right now. Before we ask that more in depth let’s take a look at why this team should have all the “heart” and more. He’s going and we’re thinking he’s going to make it. He’ll have to work out on game day. “It’s just to make sure we’re on the same page as a whole”. This is the reality of it, there’s a lot of things that enter into it, and sometimes it’s getting the ball out when we have the chance to before the rush gets there.

“We’ve gone out a couple times”, he said. Wilson has started every game over that span and the Seahawks have not needed Jackson to play significant snaps since his return to Seattle. RB Fred Jackson (ankle) is questionable, possibly leaving Seattle short at the position.

Defensive end Demarcus Dobbs (shoulder) and linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (hamstring) are doubtful.

The Bengals aren’t the same group that lost the wild-card game to the Colts. He missed last week with a hamstring injury and has been ruled out this week with the same injury. Upon his return, Seattle went 2-0 at home and forced defenses to punt on 18 of 20 drives at CenturyLink Field. The game will be on FOX with the Seahawks at 2-2 and the Bengals undefeated at 4-0. If Seattle can do that, their defense will slow down the Bengals offense. QB Andy Dalton’s 123 passer rating is best by any Bengal through four games. Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson is doing a great job expanding his formations and concepts this season, especially to get A.J. Cincinnati needs this new Dalton to be the true one, rather than see a regression to the norm. He boasts a 12-3-1 all-time record against those squads, and that includes a win at Seattle as a rookie in 2011.

On Sunday the Seahawks defense will face-off against a Bengals offense that is ranked second in the league and is led by the league’s third best quarterback Andy Dalton who is on course for a 4,750-yard season.

The main cog of the Seahawks offense remains on the sideline. Kick the ball away from Tyler Lockett.

One touchdown, of course, doesn’t mean the ragtag Seahawks offensive line has found it, doesn’t mean the Seahawks are suddenly as clean as they need to be.
