For the first time since last season, QB Tom Brady will make his season debut at home, as the New England Patriots (4-1) look to continue their winning ways against the struggling Cincinnati Bengals (2-3).

WR Brandon LaFell will also make his first appearance at Gillette Stadium for the first time since last season, however, he will be in a different jersey. The Patriots released him last offseason after a disappointing 2015 campaign had him plagued by a nagging foot injury.

Despite their post season struggles, the Bengals have been one of the more consistent winning teams during the regular season as they have improved their record after each season.

Let’s dive into some quick stats:
