Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco vs. Jets CB Darrelle Revis
During Sunday’s telecast, NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth mentioned that one of Bengals QB Carson Palmer’s faults was that he locked in on Ochocinco too much. It certainly looked it Sunday as Ochocinco was targeted on four of Palmer’s 11 passes. If Revis continues his dominant 2009 season and Palmer cannot consistently move on to a secondary receiver, it could be another long day for Cincinnati.

Jets OL vs. Bengals DL
Every TV/radio analyst that I’ve heard discuss last Sunday’s game and how it pertains to this Saturday’s has come back to one point: The Bengals defensive line got whooped by the Jets offensive line to the tune of 257 rushing yards — and you can watch all the film in the world and still may not be able to fix that problem.

Bengals RB Cedric Benson vs. Jets defense
The biggest piece missing from the Bengals on Sunday night was Benson, who sat out mostly for rest and precautionary reasons after surpassing 300 rushing attempts this season for the first time in his career. Benson rushed for 1,251 yards this year and now rested will be a bigger challenge than Bernard Scott and rusty Larry Johnson, who split time for the Bengals in the 37-0 loss.

Jets QB Mark Sanchez vs. Bengals defense
If the Jets jump out early like they did on Sunday, then Sanchez can simply hand off the ball, make the occasional short pass and call it a night. But if the Bengals present more of a challenge Saturday, and they almost certainly will, Sanchez must avoid the turnovers that plagued him and the Jets all season.

Blitzing Jets vs. Bengals OL
QB Carson Palmer’s 1-for-11, 0-yard performance was not all his fault. There were dropped passes, but more importantly little time to find open receivers. Rex Ryan’s secondary blitzes kept Cincinnati’s offense off balance all night. This is one area the Bengals should, and must, be able to adjust to with a week of preparation.
