Is it time to break out the "must-win" armbands? Tune in to find out as Paul and Jay preview Sunday's buckin' Broncos bash. The guys examine Cincinnati's thin secondary and discuss Chidobe Awuzie's status ahead of the team's trip to Denver. On that note, the Bengals aren't only experiencing a host of injuries on defense, but on the offensive side of things, too. PDJ and JM predict Cincinnati's starting defensive unit as well as their offensive line. Jessie Bates has been much-maligned this week over his dropped, potentially game-winning interception. Bates, himself, speaks on the matter. How will Denver approach Joe Burrow and the Bengals, who have torched teams this year that predominantly run man-to-man defenses, like the Broncos? The Athletic's Nick Kosmider hops on the podcast to canvass Denver's season thus far, and shares his insight into the club's powerful backfield tandem as well as their defense. Plus, the guys converse about the absurd history between these two franchises; toss out this week's Growler Bet, and, for those who stick around, a Survivor finale analysis.
