The Cincinnati Bengals are in the driver’s seat regarding their playoff fate and face a Minnesota Vikings team in week 16 on the NFL schedule that disposed of a hot Eagles squad a week ago. Both teams have been victorious in two of their past three games when we watch Vikings vs Bengals online free live streaming on Fox by following the links presented below.
Cincinnati (9-5) looked to be on cruise control toward a playoff berth until they faced the Pittsburgh Steelers last week on the road and had their winning streak snapped by a 30-20 score. The Bengals are still undefeated at home and can secure a playoff berth by winning out, though they’d love to win the AFC North and can if they beat the Vikings and the Ravens lose against the Patriots later today.
Even if the Ravens manage to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots, the Bengals can still pop the champagne and kick off a locker room celebration if the Buffalo Bills buck the odds and manage to knock off the Miami Dolphins. That scenario is extremely unlikely so for now, the Bengals have to think about winning today and then taking care of business against the Ravens in week 17.
The Bengals could use some more offensive punch from Andy Dalton and his squad against a much improved Vikings team. Last week the Steelers smothered Dalton for 279 total yards. Their longest gain of the game was 19 yards, and a rushing average of over 140 yards per game was knocked down to only 57. Watch Bengals vs Vikings online streaming live free on Fox today to see if Dalton can solve the Vikings defense and put up big yards again.
Minnesota (4-9-1) hasn’t won on the road all season and today is their last chance to do so. Last week they took on a hot Philly team at home without running back Adrian Peterson and tallied 48 points of offense. Peterson will be back in the lineup against the Bengals, much to their dismay, as will injured running back Toby Gerhart.
Matt Cassel tore up the Eagles defense for 382 passing yards and a pair of touchdown passes versus one interceptions. Third-string running back Matt Asiata got a chance to run and he did just that, putting the ball into the end zone a total of three times. Wide receiver Greg Jennings had his best game of the season with 11 catches for 163 yards.
