The Cincinnati Bengals were projected to be a hot Super Bowl contender ahead of the 2023 season, keeping quarterback Joe Burrow at the helm. But, luck has something else in store for them as Burrow got injured and the team is sitting at the bottom of the AFC North, with a 2-3 mark.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks started the season with a 13-30 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, albeit they bounced back in the following weeks by earning consecutive wins in the next three games. Seattle and Cincinnati are going to face off against each other today.
