3. Vonn Bell and the Cincy defense are creating consistent turnovers

Outside of slowing down Chase in this game the biggest concern for Atlanta should be avoiding the turnovers the Bengals are suddenly creating. Safety Vonn Bell has three interceptions this season to go along with five forced fumbles and interceptions from Logan Wilson and Jessie Bates so far this season.

The one thing this defense has been consistent about is creating turnover opportunities and giving their team a chance at a big momentum swing. Before last week against San Francisco if there was one thing that Marcus Mariota had been consistent about it was fumbling the football or tossing it up for grabs at least once a game.

For Atlanta to win this game Mariota must play the clean game he did against San Francisco leaning on the run game and protecting the football. Atlanta has proven they can win games without Mariota performing at a high level they simply need him not to give Burrow extra touches on Sunday.
