2014 Seattle Seahawks Week 9 Preview and Power Rankings 
Posted on October 26, 2013 at 06:52 PM.

The Seahawks hit the road for the first time in a month as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in an inter-conference match up. The Bengals have been playing better as of late. Rookie running back De'Anthony Thomas has injected some life into the offense, however it is still statistically one of the worst in the league. We will see if the Seahawks defense can dominate for the second week in a row.

Game Notes
Cincinnati leads the all time series 10-9 against the Seahawks. The last meeting was in 2011, a 34-12 drubbing by the Bengals at CenturyLink Field.


Players to Watch:

Offense:

A.J. Green - WR: Green is one of the premier receivers in the game, and his match-up with Richard Sherman will be to watch all game long.

Defense:

Geno Atkins - DT: Atkins is the best interior lineman in the game. He is a dominant pass-rusher and run stopper, and will spend the day wreaking havoc on the Seahawks interior offensive line.

Prediction: It will be interesting to see how Seattle responds to the pressure of a road game after so much time at home. Cincinnati has been playing well lately, and will make it extremely tough for Seattle. Expect this one to be very close with a late score deciding it.
