Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson looking forward to Skyline, White

Sure there was skepticism and rightfully so, but in Week 2, Andy Dalton backed up his Week 1 performance with an eye-dropping 50-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones.

Las Vegas sportsbooks have the Bengals giving three points to the Seahawks, according to vegasinsider.com, meaning the game would be a pick’em on a neutral field. After an impressive Week 1 in Oakland, the Bengals have surrendered an average of 404.3 yards of total offense, which ranks fifth-worst in that time.

The over/under is 43 points.

The Seahawks (2-2, winning two in a row) have the 19th offense overall in the NFL, but are just 27th in the league with 218 passing yards per game.

It gets no easier for Wilson and the Seahawks this weekend as they play Sunday at Cincinnati. You watch college football tape and teams are getting 12 and 15 yards, and they’re not blocking anyone.

Andy Dalton seems to be putting it all together this year, completing 67.1 percent of his passes for 1,187 yards with nine touchdown passes and only one interception. He’s registered a passer rating of at least 115.9 in each contest, making every defense he faces look less than ordinary.

Carroll said the same starting five will be used against the undefeated Bengals (4-0) on Sunday in Cincinnati. After allowing 61 points in their first two games, the Seahawks have surrendered no offensive touchdowns since the return of defensive back Kam Chancellor.

Wilson was born at Christ Hospital, but only spent little time here before his family moved to Virginia. The praise being given to the Redskins’ offensive line for its improvement this season has come with Griffin on the bench. Dalton has also been sacked only twice through four weeks and was barely touched in last week’s win over Kansas City.

A quarter of the way through the season that weakness is bordering on crippling, leaving quarterback Russell Wilson scrambling for safety at times and getting hit far more often than the Seahawks would like.

After that game Sherman said of Green: “He’s probably one of the most overrated receivers out there”. Graham has just 18 catches for 174 yards, coming over in a deal that weakened the Seahawks’ offensive line.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ pass rush produced 11 sacks through four games, which is tied for sixth in the NFL. They have dealt with many injuries and shuffling of players throughout the last two seasons, and Cable has been able to consistently get them to perform at a high level.

Crocker: “They don’t take a lot of shots downfield”.

A group that has struggled through the first four games of the season will be tested once again this Sunday.

What: “Take a look at what they do off this play, this is sort of like their play action”. Jess, are you surprised the Bengals are in the Super Bowl discussion one quarter of the way into the 2015 season? The defense is nearly an entirely different unit than they were last season and it will be a struggle the remainder of the season with the 49ers schedule to even make it to.500.

The Seahawks managed to escape with a 13-10 win Detroit Monday night.

The Seahawks advanced to 2-2 after the victory and jumped to third place in the division behind the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams. Seattle will need to keep RBs Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill in check to force the Bengals to be one-dimensional offensively.

Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable says he remains as confident in the potential of the line as he was heading into the season. The Bengals will have to lean on their ground game as throws down the field might be hard to come by against the best secondary in the league.
