The Lions eye a fourth straight victory when they take on the Bengals on Sunday afternoon. 

Detroit (3-1) continues to roll on offense, averaging over 41 points per game across its last three contests. In last Sunday's 24-point win over the Browns, Jared Goff threw a pair of touchdowns, connecting twice with star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. 

St. Brown now leads the NFL with seven receiving touchdowns, while he's inside the top 10 in receptions (27) and receiving yards (307). 

Cincinnati (2-2) has its own star receiver, arguably the best in the NFL in Ja'Marr Chase. But Chase is still working to develop a rapport with quarterback Jake Browning, set for his third straight start amid Joe Burrow's absence. 

In his last two games, Chase has just 73 receiving yards. Perhaps Sunday is the day he gets back on track.
