Week 3 thus finds Cincinnati truly desperate for a win. As a reminder, since 1990 only 4 of 162 teams have made the playoffs after starting a season with three consecutive losses (2.5%). On the other side of the field, Washington looks to add to any momentum gained in last week’s win and to keep pace atop the NFC East with Philadelphia and Dallas.

The Commanders rack up 20.5 points per game, comparable to the 21 the Bengals allow. Washington racks up 362 yards per game, 74 more yards than the 288 Cincinnati gives up. The Commanders have turned the ball over zero times, three fewer times than the Bengals have forced turnovers (3).

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is preparing to make his season debut during the team's Week 3 matchup with the Washington Commanders.
