This AFC vs. NFC game tonight will feature two teams trying to stay alive in the race to qualify for the playoffs!
After 11 exciting NFL Sunday games including the SNF game between the Chiefs and the Chargers, we are set to close Week 14 with Monday Night Football. This AFC vs. NFC game tonight will feature two teams trying to stay alive in the race to qualify for the playoffs.
Two teams who have disappointed and left the fans heartbroken, this game becomes crucial for both of them. A win here for either side will keep them in the hunt for a postseason spot, no matter how bleak the chances are. A loss for either side will virtually eliminate them.
So, who plays on Monday Night Football tonight? Let’s find out.
Week 14 Monday Night Football game will be played between the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) and the Dallas Cowboys (5-7). Both the sides have a unique story to tell this season but moreover the same results to show.
Let’s talk about the Bengals first. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been nothing less than phenomenal this season. But he has been extremely unlucky too. The sole reason for that being the Bengals defense that absolutely sucks.
Joey B leads the league in passing touchdowns (30) and is 3rd in passing yards (3,337) this season. Burrow has a completion percentage of 67.7 and his throws have been intercepted only 5 times through week 13.
Bengals WR Ja’marr Chase leads the league’s wideouts in passing touchdowns and is 2nd with 1,142 passing yards with an average of 14.5 yards per reception. Wideout Tee Higgins has 5 touchdowns for 459 yards in his last 5 outings. RB Chase Brown has 3 TDs in his last four games. If not for one of the worst defenses in the league this season, the Bengals would have been in a better position.
The Dallas Cowboys are 5-7 entering Week 14 MNF game against the Bengals. Two back-to-back wins over the Commanders and the Giants have given their fans some hope to hang on to. They finally got their first home win this season, so that’s something.
But the absence of Dak Prescott hasn’t bothered them much. To their credit, they have won 2 consecutive games after losing 5 in a row. Cooper Rush will be the starting QB for the MNF game and they face arguably the worst defense in the NFL.
Cincinnati ranks 31st in terms of points allowed and 28th in yard allowed through week 13. But to exploit one of the weakest defenses in the league, the Cowboys have to come out with all guns blazing, sadly a rare sight for this season. The Cowboys have the worst run defense in the NFL this season. And if Joe Burrow and co. got up and running, then it is going to be a long night for Mike McCarthy and his boys.
Our pick to win? We think that Zac Taylor’s boys are going to put on a show of offensive dominance against the Cowboys tonight!
The Dallas Cowboys lead the overall head to head record against the Cincinnati Bengals by 10-4-0. Surprisingly, the Bengals have lost the last 5 games to the Cowboys, a losing streak that dates back to October 5th, 2008. Tonight might be the night for the Bengals to change the script!
Viewers can broadcast Week 14 Monday Night Football live broadcast on ESPN. The game can be streamed live on Fubo.
Week 14 Monday Night Football tonight will kick-off at 8:15 p.m. ET from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
