Who Dey Nation is set to Stripe The Jungle as the Bengals host the Detroit Lions at Paycor Stadium on Sunday. The game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. on FOX (Cincinnati’s channel 19).

Here is what to watch for:

Defense Seeks More Turnovers

Cincinnati's defense has recorded five interceptions this season, tied for the fourth-most in the NFL through four weeks of play. The Bengals logged two picks in each of the first two games, spearheading a 2-0 start, but have since been able to grab just one over the past two contests.

The challenge this week comes in the form of a Detroit passing attack that ranks among the league's best in several metrics. Quarterback Jared Goff boasts a 73.8 completion percentage (second in NFL) and has a touchdown-to-interception ratio of nine to two, while as a team the Lions are 10th leaguewide in net passing yards per game (226.0).

Dating back to the start of the 2022 season, the Bengals are 17-1 when recording two or more interceptions. In addition to its pick total this year, Cincinnati also has 17 total passes defensed, led by five from DJ Turner II (tied for sixth-most in NFL).

Chase, St. Brown Take Center Stage

Sunday features two of the league's top performers at the wide receiver position in Cincinnati's Ja’Marr Chase and Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown. Both have flashed their Pro Bowl talent through the first four weeks, with Chase's 14 receptions in Week 2 against Jacksonville still ranking as the most by any player in a game this season, and St. Brown leading the way in touchdown catches with six.

Chase and St. Brown entered the league together in 2021, and since the start of their rookie campaigns they have cemented themselves near the top of the NFL in every major receiving category. In that span, Chase has the league's most touchdown grabs (47), while ranking third in yards (5,689) and sixth in total catches (421). St. Brown is first in catches (457), sixth in yards (5,158) and fourth in touchdowns (39).

Chase has earned a Pro Bowl nod in each of his first four seasons, and last year received first-team AP All-Pro status for the first time in his career. St. Brown was voted to the Pro Bowl in each of the past three years and is a two-time first-team All-Pro (2023-24).

Taylor-Campbell Reunion

Zac Taylor and Dan Campbell will meet for the second time in their head coaching careers, but their history in the NFL dates back to over a decade ago in Miami. The two were on the Dolphins' coaching staff together for four seasons (2012-15), with Taylor primarily working with the team's quarterbacks and Campbell overseeing the tight ends. In 2015, following an in-season coaching change, Campbell took over as interim head coach while Taylor served as interim offensive coordinator.

Their previous meeting as full-time head coaches came in Week 6 of the 2021 season, when Taylor led the Bengals to a 34-11 road win over Campbell and the Lions.

Bengals Aim for 3-0 in Stripe The Jungle Games

Sunday marks the third Stripe The Jungle game at Paycor Stadium, as fans are encouraged to wear orange or black apparel based on their seat location to create the iconic taped Bengal tiger stripe pattern. Cincinnati has won the previous two contests which have featured this tradition, with a 24-18 victory over Buffalo in its debut in Week 9 of the 2023 campaign, and a 24-6 win over Cleveland in Week 16 of last season.

Cincinnati will wear black jerseys, white pants (orange stripes) and orange socks for the game. The Bengals have worn this combination 11 times since their uniform redesign prior to the 2021 season, and have compiled a 7-4 record in those games. The last time they featured this look was in last season's thrilling overtime win against Denver in Week 17.
