The New York Giants will clash with the Cincinnati Bengals this week with the Bengals desperate to stop the rot of four straight losses. The game starts at 1 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream via the link below.

The Bengals come into this game with an air of desperation about them. They have lost four straight games and now come up against a confident Giants team who will be far from easy to get anything from.

The Giants are reeling following their first loss for more than a month last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That will have slightly knocked their confidence, but what would have frustrated them more than anything is the manner of the loss. They threw away a good lead against the Steelers and allowed them to come from behind to snatch victory away from them.

The Giants will be looking to funnel those frustrations into this game and take it out on the Bengals, which could make things even more difficult for Cincinnati.

The Giants come into this game with a record of 6-3 and are way out at the top of the NFC East division, three games ahead of tied second placed Philadelphia and Dallas, who are both on 3-5.

The Bengals are third in the ADC North with their post season hopes hanging by a thread. They are two games behind Pittsburgh, and will be hoping to cause an upset today against the Giants to close the gap on the Steelers and make a run for the wild card spot.
