The Seahawks tied a franchise record with 11 sacks in Week 4. He had three catches for 5 yards against the Giants. The first-rounder has just 12 receptions for 62 yards and no touchdowns. Rookie WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba has struggled to get involved in the offense. During that time, Smith has thrown 18 touchdowns against five interceptions. QB Geno Smith has posted a 107.9 passer rating in his past 10 road starts. Seahawks are 23-9 in their past 32 games that kick off at 10 a.m. STATS AND STUFF: The Seahawks have not won in Cincinnati since 1993, losing their past two trips there in 20. The Bengals beat the Seahawks 21-13 in a 1988 divisional round game at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium on the way to Super Bowl 23. The teams have met once in the postseason, when Seattle was playing in the AFC. Seattle won the most recent meeting 21-20 in the 2019 regular-season opener at Lumen Field (then called CenturyLink Field). They also lead 7-5 in all games played in Cincinnati, including 2-0 at Paycor Stadium (formerly Paul Brown Stadium). SERIES NOTES: The Bengals have won three of the past five games in the series. Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ribs) and CB Chidobe Awuzie (back) were limited participants in practice Thursday, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee) was held out. KEY INJURIES: Seahawks CB Coby Bryant (toe), CB Artie Burns (hamstring), G Damien Lewis (ankle), WR DK Metcalf (ribs) were out at practice, S Jamal Adams (concussion) had limited participation. The Bengals have allowed 11 sacks on the season. The Bengals have been pretty good at keeping Burrow upright despite his limitations dealing with his calf injury. Seattle was able to take advantage of a depleted offensive line and made New York’s offense stagnant. KEY MATCHUP: Will Seattle be able to replicate its record-setting performance two weeks ago against the Giants and overwhelm Burrow and the Bengals offense? Seattle tied a franchise record with 11 sacks in the victory over the Giants after the Seahawks managed just five sacks in the first three games. Burrow completed 78.3% of his passes last week for three touchdowns - all to Ja’Marr Chase - in Cincinnati’s 34-20 win over the Cardinals. He had trouble doing that in the first three games and the Bengals never could get going offensively. BENGALS PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Burrow’s calf injury has healed enough that the young quarterback was scrambling and throwing downfield again.
