Sunday's Duel in the Sun (1 p.m.-Cincinnati's Channel 19) is expected to unfold before a full house at Paul Brown Stadium when Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow pits his aura against Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' artistry.
At the end of a week Burrow's mic'd-up-give-me-the-ball calm has been compared to Joe Montana's West Coast cool, Rodgers comes to a building with his Hall-of-Fame heat in a matchup of passer ratings in triple digits. The Bengals.com Media Roundtable calls it closely but decisively.
Although The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called an audible late last season and switched the versatile and talented Jim Owczarski from the Packers so he could cover the Bucks' run to the NBA title, he's been a friend of The Table ever since his three-year term covering the Bengals at The Cincinnati Enquirer.
