Atlanta has not been over .500 in a long time, but they have the opportunity this Sunday. Standing in their way is a Bengals team that has shaken off two ugly close losses to kick off the season and is now 3-1 in their past four games, with 27 points or more in three of those efforts.
This will be a very different challenge than the Buccaneers and 49ers, with their at-times smothering defenses and solid but not spectacular offenses. The Bengals like to air it out and can effectively air it out, with a so-so ground game and a defense solid enough to keep them in games if the offense falters a bit.
