•Time: 8:30 p.m.

•TV: ESPN

•Last meeting: Pats won 38-13 at Cincinnati on Oct. 1, 2006.

•Key stat: Pats lead NFL in total offense (441.0) and total defense (207).

•Fantasy factor: Pats' Tom Brady leads NFL in passing with 10 TD passes and only one INT. Bengals' T. J. Houshmandzadeh leads league with 29 catches, four for TDs.

The buzz: Nobody has come close to the Patriots, and Bengals' generous defense won't be able to contain them. Who will cover Randy Moss, who's second in NFL in receiving yards (403) and is tied for the most TD catches (5).
