The Bengals look to snap New England's eight-game winning streak when they host the Patriots at Paycor Stadium on Sunday. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. on CBS (Cincinnati’s channel 12).
Here is what to watch for:
Tee's Touchdown Streak
Tee Higgins has a pair of touchdown streaks rolling into Sunday, as he has caught a scoring pass from Joe Flacco in each of the last four games overall, and he also has at least one receiving touchdown in each of his last nine games at Paycor Stadium dating back to Week 5 of last season.
A touchdown catch against New England would make Higgins the first Bengals player with a scoring reception in five straight games since A.J. Green, who logged a nine-game streak in Weeks 2-11 of the 2012 season.
Higgins also has a chance to match Pro Football Hall of Famers Bob Hayes and Cris Carter as the only players in NFL history with a touchdown grab in 10 consecutive home games played. Hayes put his streak together during the 1965 and '66 seasons, while playing for the Dallas Cowboys at the Cotton Bowl. Carter found the end zone in 10 straight games at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome during the 2000-01 campaigns.
Higgins' seven total receiving touchdowns this season are tied for third-most in the NFL. He is three touchdowns shy of matching his career high of 10 last season.
Brown Racking Up the Scrimmage Yards
Chase Brown has posted 100 or more yards from scrimmage in each of the past four games, marking the longest active streak in the NFL. He is coming off a season-high 127 scrimmage yards in Week 11 at Pittsburgh, with 99 rushing yards on 18 carries and 28 receiving yards on six receptions.
Brown is averaging 111.0 scrimmage yards per game since Week 7, the sixth-most among all running backs in that span. He logged 100 yards from scrimmage in the Thursday night home win over the Steelers, then followed up with 105 in Week 8 against the Jets and 112 in Week 9 versus Chicago.
Brown has a chance to match his longest career streak of 100-plus scrimmage yards this Sunday, as he previously put together a five-game streak from Weeks 11-16 last season. He currently has 748 total yards from scrimmage this year, with 519 on the ground and 229 receiving.
Extra Points
- Zac Taylor enters Sunday with 49 regular-season wins as the Bengals' head coach and will have a chance to join former head coaches Paul Brown, Sam Wyche and Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati's 50-win club.
- Evan McPherson has 186 career made extra points, which is three shy of Horst Muhlmann (189) for fifth in Bengals history.
- Ryan Rehkow currently leads the NFL with 53.1 yards per punt.
- The Bengals have allowed just eight sacks since week 6, tied for the third-fewest in the NFL in that stretch.
