Former Bengals defensive back and Bleav in Bengals host Solomon Wilcots joins Seth to break down Texans-Bengals from every angle. They discuss Joe Burrow’s back tightness, Nico Collins’ hamstring, Cincinnati’s revamped defense, the impact of Dexter Lawrence, and the biggest concern still hanging over the Bengals: missed tackles.

Solomon also explains why Houston’s improved running game could test Cincinnati, what C.J. Stroud needs to do if Nico is limited, and why Derek Stingley Jr. vs. Ja’Marr Chase could be one of the best individual matchups of the weekend. Plus, they examine whether Houston’s defense can bounce back after an uncharacteristic performance against Buffalo and handle another elite quarterback in Burrow.
