Why to watch
This is an interesting test for Bengals rookie QB Andy Dalton, who is having a stellar start, as he faces Seattle's famed "12th Man" in a raucous road atmosphere. The Bengals can pull to 5-2 and keep pace with Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the AFC North. The Seahawks can't afford to fall much deeper behind the division-leading 49ers.
Inside story
The Bengals are without running back Cedric Benson, who is serving his one-game suspension, which means Cincy might look to the air quite a bit. This game features two of the stingiest no-name defensive fronts in the league, both ranked near the top in fewest yards-per-carry allowed.
