Saints at Bengals Matchups: New Orleans defense vs. Cincinnati offense

The 7-1 New Orleans Saints travel to Cincinnati to begin the back half of their 2018 schedule to face the 5-3 Bengals this Sunday. The Saints have been inconsistent defensively during their seven game winning streak, but have been able to come up with some timely stops to bolster their balanced offensive performance. The defense has still given up an average of 27 points per game, and ranks just 25th in total yardage. They now face a banged up Cincinnati offense that averages almost 28 points per game (10th best in the league), but is only 24th in total yards (344/game).
