Bengals at Colts: The Colts defeated the Bengals 27-0 earlier in the year…don’t expect the same this time around.

The Bengals were without A.J. Green, and could be again this time around as he attempts to pass concussion protocol. Jeremy Hill is now Cincinnati’s feature running back, and will put the Colts run defense to the test.

Indy has been a little shaky lately. Needing a comeback win late over the Browns, being embarrassed by Dallas, and showing  some signs of life against a Titans team that will have the #2 overall pick in the NFL draft.

The Colts need to protect Andrew Luck, and he must limit turnovers. Cincy is due to get a win in the playoffs, if the Colts aren’t careful it could be Sunday.
