Cincinnati: The Bengals are the only AFC team with two players with at least six touchdowns: tight end Tyler Eifert (six) and running back Jeremy Hill (six).

Cleveland: Quarterbac­k Josh McCown is expected to start against the Cardinals despite missing practice this week because of a shoulder injury.

Denver: The only time the Broncos started 7-0 was in 1998, when they won the Super Bowl after finishing 14-2. Denver has the league’s top-rated defense.

Houston: Backs Alfred Blue, Chris Polk and Jonathan Grimes are all expected to carry the ball with Arian Foster done for the season because of an Achilles injury.
