Panthers vs. Bengals: Top 5 Matchups To Watch

Greg Olsen will need to produce another big game if the Carolina Panthers are to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals, and Bengals LB Emmanuel Lamur will be one of a few Bengals who will have their hands full trying to stop Olsen and over-sized wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin.

The Cincinnati Bengals will rely heavily on a backfield attack that features the elusive and explosive Giovani Bernard. He will have to get the best of the matchup between him and Carolina Panthers LB Luke Kuechly in open field if the Bengals are to return to their winning ways in Week 6.

The Carolina Panthers have one of the best linebackers playing in the NFL in Luke Kuechly, but the Cincinnati native will have his hands full with the Cincinnati Bengals powerful rookie running back Jeremy Hill; that is, when he isn't trying to deal with Giovani Bernard.

Carlos Dunlap and the Cincinnati Bengals' pass rush will take the field with a vengeance in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers after the New England Patriots and QB Tom Brady torched the Bengals for 43 points in Week 5.

The Week 6 matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Cincinnati Bengals should ultimately come down to the matchup between QBs Cam Newton and Andy Dalton. If Newton can avoid the Bengals' pass rush and perform at the level he has so far this season, the outcome of the game may come down to whether or not Dalton can pass his way to a close win.
