New York Giants (3-7) at Cincinnati Bengals (2-7-1), 1:00 pm
Giants: After giving up the ball at least once in each of their first eight games and totaling a combined 15 turnovers (13 by quarterback Daniel Jones), Joe Judge’s club avoided any of those kind of mistakes in the back-to-back wins over NFC East rivals Washington and Philadelphia. The Giants’ last three-game winning streak came in 2016.
Bengals: With Joe Burrow sidelined, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo (via Kevin Patra of NFL.com) reports that the club will turn to Brandon Allen instead of Ryan Finley. Allen started three games for Denver a year ago and for the season, hit on just 46.4 percent of his throws for 515 yards, three scores and two picks and was sacked nine times.
Tennessee Titans (7-3) at Indianapolis Colts (7-3), 1:00 pm
Titans: Running back Derrick Henry not only leads the NFL in rushing yards (1,079) but has totaled a league-high 229 carries. The fifth-year pro has rolled up at least 18 attempts in each of his 10 appearances this season, has run for at least 100 yards a half-dozen times and has scored at least one touchdown in six of his last eight outings.
Colts: Back in Week 10, Philip Rivers threw for 308 yards and one score and Frank Reich’s team rolled up 430 total yards and scored the final 24 points of the game in a 34-17 Thursday night victory at Nashville. It raised the Colts’ record in this series to 28-7 dating back to ‘03. A year ago, the Titans came away with a 31-17 win at Indianapolis.
