How to watch Seahawks vs. Saints football game
The New Orleans Saints have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will hit the road for the second straight week as they head to Lumen Field at 8:15 p.m. ET Monday. They have a defense that allows only 18.2 points per game, so the Seattle Seahawks' offense will have their work cut out for them.

The Saints were able to grind out a solid win over the Washington Football Team two weeks ago, winning 33-22. New Orleans relied on the efforts of RB Alvin Kamara, who punched in one rushing touchdown in addition to snatching one receiving TD, and QB Jameis Winston, who passed for four TDs and 279 yards on 30 attempts. Winston's 72-yard touchdown toss up the middle to WR Deonte Harris in the first quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 23-20. Despite the defeat, Seattle got a solid performance out of RB Alex Collins, who rushed for one TD and 101 yards on 20 carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Collins has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.

The Saints are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread two weeks ago might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

New Orleans' victory brought them up to 3-2 while the Seahawks' loss pulled them down to 2-4. New Orleans is 0-2 after wins this season, and Seattle is 1-2 after losses.

If it wasn't clear to everyone before this week, it's definitely clear now: The Cincinnati Bengals are for real.

Their offense is for real. Their defense is for real, and now, their place atop the AFC North is also for real. The Bengals are officially the first-place team in the division after going on the road and embarrassing the Baltimore Ravens 41-17 on Sunday.

The Ravens were the one team the Bengals weren't supposed to be able to beat. Going into Sunday, Lamar Jackson had never lost to the Bengals (5-0), he had never lost an October game to anyone (9-0) and the Bengals had only scored two offensive touchdowns against Baltimore in two years. However, that all changed in a game that might have signaled a changing of the guard in the AFC North.

The fact that the Bengals won wasn't completely surprising, the surprising part was the way they won: They blew Baltimore out of the water. The last time these two teams met, the Ravens rushed for 407 yards, but they got nowhere near that total this time around on a day where the Bengals' defense dominated.

The turnaround of Cincinnati's defense has probably been the most overlooked story of the 2021 NFL season. If you watched the defense play last year, it was absolutely atrocious. Imagine watching Derrick Henry play football against a group of elementary school kids and you'll have an idea of just how bad the Bengals' defense was last year.

One of its biggest problems in 2020 was that it couldn't rush the quarterback. The Bengals finished the 2020 season with a league-low 17 sacks. This year, they've been terrorizing opposing quarterbacks, including Jackson, who got sacked five times bringing Cincinnati's season total to 19.

For most of the game, whenever Jackson would drop back to throw, the pocket would quickly collapse, which usually led to a bad outcome for Jackson, like this first-quarter sack by Larry Ogunjobi.

Not getting away from @Mr_Ogunjobi this time. 😤

Although Jackson did make a few big plays for Baltimore, he seemed overwhelmed at times by the Bengals' pass rush. Unfortunately for Jackson, he got no help from a Ravens ground game that was basically nonexistent. Although the Ravens ran for 115 yards, most of those came from Jackson (88) with Baltimore's running backs totaling just 27 yards.
