The Colts have been one of the highest-scoring teams in the league as they enter this game averaging 25 points per game which ranks 8^th in the NFL and their passing game has played a pivotal role in the success the offense is having this season. Gardner Minshew leads the team in passing as he enters this game having completed 213 of 339 attempts for 2,284 yards with ten touchdowns and seven interceptions while Michael Pittman has been the main beneficiary of the passing offense as he leads the team in receiving with 87 receptions for 889 yards and four touchdowns.

Jake Browning started his 2^nd game in his NFL career for the Cincinnati Bengals and played phenomenally as he led the team to a 34-31 win in overtime on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars which ended their three-game losing streak. Browning completed 32 of 37 attempts for 354 yards with a touchdown in the win while Joe Mixon had his best game this season as he ran for 68 yards and two touchdowns. The win has improved the record for the Bengals to 6-6, however, they are one game behind the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, and Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card race. 

Cincinnati has been a below-average scoring team this season as they are averaging 20.5 points per game which is below the league average of 21.74 points per game and their running game has been a major concern all season for Cincinnati as they rank last in rushing yards per game in the NFL with an average of 82.5 rushing yards per game.
