New York (2-3) picked up an inspiring road victory over the Seahawks last Sunday, winning without its star rookie receiver, Malik Nabers. A blocked field goal and ensuing 60-yard touchdown return from Bryce Ford-Wheaton with 55 seconds to go sealed the victory. 

Quarterback Daniel Jones played arguably his best game of the season, completing 23-of-34 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. 

Cincinnati (1-4) let a 10-point fourth-quarter lead slip away in Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens. The offense played its best game of the year, with quarterback Joe Burrow throwing for 392 yards and five touchdowns. Star receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins each reeled in a pair of touchdowns, too.
