The Bengals will host the Lions in the Week 5 matchup of the 2025 NFL season at Paycor Stadium on Sunday.
Cincinnati were routed 28-3 by Denver last week and dropped to a 2-2 start, while Detroit dominated Cleveland 34-10 to improve to a 3-1 record. The upcoming clash in Ohio features two of the best wide receivers in the Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase and Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown face off.
Cincinnati's defense is tied for the fourth-most interceptions in the NFL through the four weeks, but recorded just one pick in the last two contests.
However, a strong Detroit passing attack will be a major challenge for them this week. Jared Goff at Quarterback has the second-best completion rate (78%) in the NFL, while the Lions are ranked 10th in the league for net passing yards per game.
