The 5-10 Cincinnati Bengals will host the 3-12 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Let’s take a look at three players for Cincinnati that could be impactful in determining the outcome of the game.
Dax Hill
Hill has been playing at nearly an elite level since moving back to outside cornerback. In his last four games, Hill has allowed just 14 catches for 56 yards total. He is tied with Devon Witherspoon for the fifth-highest PFF grade over that span, with a grade of 86.2. Michael Wilson has been playing well at wide receiver for the Cardinals. This will also be the second game back from injury for Marvin Harrison Jr. Can Dax continue his great play down the stretch of the season? He will be playing on his fifth-year option next year, and could be a candidate for an extension this offseason.
Myles Murphy
Murphy is a player who will definitely have his fifth-year option picked up after his strong play in the second half of the season. Murphy has excelled in his extended opportunity with Trey Hendrickson out injured. Murphy should have more opportunities than he did a week ago to rush the passer against a Cardinals offense without the same rushing attack as the Dolphins. Another sack or two for Murphy could be on the menu this week.
Tee Higgins
Higgins has been a touchdown-producing machine this season for the Bengals. He has a ridiculous 10 touchdown catches of his 49 total receptions on the season. His ability to high point the football is arguably the best in all of professional football. Can Higgins add another touchdown or two again this week? I think he will.
