Cincinnati at Minnesota
FROM NFL.COM didnt feel like typing so I did the next best thing
Cincinnati CBs Johnathan Joseph/Leon Hall vs. Minnesota QB Brett Favre
There's not a lot of history between these teams, and they have split 10 previous meetings. The Bengals are 0-4 in Minnesota and have been outscored by 62 points in those games. This should be a fun game to watch, with the winner taking a big step toward securing a playoff bye. Another great matchup to watch will be Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth vs. Vikings DE Jared Allen.
Joseph is among the league leaders in pass breakups. He has five interceptions, and is a very good athlete with great speed and coverage skills. He is the team's second-leading tackler. Hall, like Joseph, is a former first-round pick. He is a physical player, and has four interceptions.
Favre passed for 392 yards two weeks ago, his highest one-game total in six years. He's on pace for the third-most yards in his career, the third-most TD passes in his career and his lowest interception total ever. Favre still has his fastball and accuracy, and is playing with great enthusiasm. His game took a downturn Sunday night in Arizona, so it will be interesting to see how he rebounds.
