This is a make-or-break week for the Cincinnati Bengals (4-6) after losing their lead in the second half of last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, resulting in a devastating 35-34 loss. A win this week would put their postseason odds up to 53 percent, whereas another loss would bring them down to 22 percent. The Bengals can’t afford to lose this game, but they may have a secret weapon up their sleeve. Fans are eagerly awaiting the “hopeful” return of star wide receiver Tee Higgins, who has sat out the last three games from injury. With one of their star playmakers back, the Bengals might have a chance against the Los Angeles Chargers (6-3), who are known for their consistency and top ranked defense. However, the Chargers may be facing a challenge too, as the Bengals are one of the best offenses they have faced this season. Here is all the info you need to watch “Sunday Night Football.”
