The Cincinnati Bengals head into Week 15 staring down an encounter with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cincinnati has won five in a row to sit in AFC North and overall playoff contention and Joe Burrow continues to play at an MVP level.

That makes for some pretty interesting stats, grades and film highlights, so we thought it would be fun to sift through some of the best information from the best football minds out there and compile it for ease of viewing.

Here’s a look at some of the best clips and interesting numbers to know before the Bengals visit the Buccaneers.

DJ Reader's dominance

Fun film breakdown from Brian Baldinger, which once again showcases the sheer dominance of DJ Reader, perhaps the best outright nosetackle in the NFL.

EPA charts

The whole thread from Ben Baldwin is worth a look as always. But this one chart sticks out — the Bengals are one of the best in efficiency on both sides of the ball. That upper right chart where they sit? Those are your handful of serious Super Bowl contenders.

Chase is on the case

Chase just posted a career-high grade.

Defensive dominance

These defensive grades happen when a unit can shut down Nick Chubb…a few weeks after doing it to Derrick Henry.

Pratt underrated

The most improved player on the Bengals roster just keeps getting better.

Hubbard underappreciated

Sam Hubbard isn’t getting a lot of national recognition either, but The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. paints the picture well.

Odds stuff

Numbers to keep in mind (Bengals are road favorites).

Karras the steady presence

The steady presence in the middle who makes it all tick.
