Cincinnati Bengals: 3 predictions for Week 16 at the Dolphins
By Steve Rivera
Week 16 in Miami won’t be the signature matchup in the NFL. Nonetheless, some interesting storylines could produce a few interesting results between the Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals.
Not so long ago, this Week 16 football game could have set the table for who would wind up with the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. It still may, but unlikely for the Miami Dolphins. With two games to go, the Cincinnati Bengals look to be in control of who gets to call either LSU quarterback Joe Burrow or perhaps Ohio State edge rusher, Chase Young on opening night.
The Dolphins have managed to win a few this season. Miami enters Sunday with a record of 3-11, having lost their last two games. Conversely, the Bengals continue to scuffle. Cincinnati is 1-13 and looking for all the world to be in desperate need of a significant rebuild.

One player to keep an eye on is Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. Dalton was worse than abysmal in Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He completed 17 passes on 31 attempts for 151 yards and managed to yak up 4 interceptions including a pick-6. Given the potential he’s auditioning for a new gig in 2020, he would like a significantly better showing against the Dolphins.
There is not a lot of glamour in this matchup. Outside of draft position, this is a game for fans in the Queen City and in South Beach only.
