I think the Bengals will pull out another decisive win this week, but there is plenty of doubt in the jungle. Defensive injuries have been a bummer. Leon Hall and Taylor Mays (who's been surprisingly great this year) are out for the season. Maualuga is out tonight - another player having a career year. The Bengals have moved up two practice squad guys to fill in the LB holes. I'm worried about this secondary down the stretch. We'll likely be out two defensive linemen, but I don't find that to be as much of an issue since our badass starters are still in. All of these worries can be countered by the fact that Burfict is starting. He can easily play three LB positions simultaneously.
If the Dolphins were slightly competent on offense, I would be worried. Thankfully their O-line is in shambles and one of their best playmakers in Gibson is out. Dolphin defense will still give us some problems, but unless Dalton crashes hard, I don't see them stopping the Bengals diverse offense.
