The New Orleans Saints will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6.
Everyone knows the storylines between New Orleans and Bengals' QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase. There is an intriguing matchup involving the Bengals' defense against the Saints this weekend, too.
The Saints' offense has been better in the second half than the first all season so far.
For the Bengals, their defense has shown holes often in the first half. In the second half, they have been nearly perfect this season.
This means that the Saints must be willing to adjust after half-time. Clearly, the Bengals have done that against offenses so far this season.
Expect OC Pete Carmichael and the Saints' offense to dial up a couple of interesting plays early in the second half. They need to – at least.
Additionally, they need to get Taysom Hill involved consistently once again.
The Bengals have struggled on the interior of their defensive line without DT D.J. Reader. The power running game inside for the Saints may be the key to their success on offense.
New Orleans may have WR Michael Thomas back as well. He has had success against Bengals' CB Eli Apple in the past, so the Saints need to match him up against Apple as often as they can.
Getting another impressive second half performance from Alvin Kamara would go a long way for the Saints, too.
New Orleans has an opportunity to break an impressive trend by the Bengals' defense, but they have to be willing to adapt throughout the game to do it.
