Fifty per cent on third down

Cincinnati moves the chains on more than half of its third downs, the only team in the league doing so, and Burrow has thrown 15 touchdown passes to three interceptions.

The defence is good too: 35.0% allowed in the red zone, third-best in the league, and 21 sacks — a total no team has beaten.

Tennessee has the opposite profile everywhere. One hundred and eight points, 11 touchdowns, a 73.8 passer rating and five interceptions from Cam Ward.

Players to watch

  • Joe Burrow (CIN, QB): 1,653 yards and 15 scores at a 110.4 rating.
  • Ja’Marr Chase (CIN, WR): First read in the best third-down attack going.
  • Cam Ward (TEN, QB): Four touchdown passes to five interceptions at 73.8.
  • Tony Pollard (TEN, RB): The steadiest thing in an attack with 108 points.
