CARDINALS PLAYER TO WATCH: Rookie WR Michael Wilson had the first two TD catches of his career last week against the 49ers. The third-round pick out of Stanford has quickly emerged as one of the team's best playmakers. KEY MATCHUP: Burrow vs. the Cardinals secondary.

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals haven't looked much like an elite team through four weeks. The Bengals (1-3) travel to face the Arizona Cardinals (1-3) on Sunday in a game that Burrow has already declared a nearly must-win matchup. Cincinnati has enjoyed deep playoff runs the past two seasons, including a trip to the Super Bowl during the 2021 season.

'This is unacceptable': Bengals' HC Zac Taylor expresses following Sunday's blowout

The Tennessee Titans (1-2) are going to try to do something they have never done before on Sunday — beat Cincinnati's quarterback Joe Burrow.

The Tennessee Titans are about to find out if an ugly loss can help them play better. Not only were the Titans held to their fewest total yards in a game in 49 years, Tennessee also has lost nine of 10 games overall, including two of three to start this season. Now the Titans are home Sunday, hosting Cincinnati (1-2) with the Bengals having won three straight and four of the past five against their old AFC Central rivals.

The Rams defense hung tough against Cincinnati, but the offense failed to reach the end zone until it was too late and the Bengals prevailed 19-16.

The last thing Joe Burrow saw in Super Bowl 56 was Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald slinging him to the ground. Donald made it look too easy, charging around blockers, wrapping up the Cincinnati quarterback and throwing him down on fourth-and-1 as Burrow tossed an errant desperation pass. Burrow didn't have enough time to spy receiver Ja'Marr Chase running open down the right sideline.
