CINCINNATI — The Bengals face one of their biggest tests of the season this week when they head to Kansas City to play the defending Super Bowl Champion Chiefs.

Kansas City has stars like Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones—but they also added speed to their offense in the draft.

Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy had two touchdowns against the Ravens in Week 1. Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt doesn't sound worried about facing Worthy.

"Speed. That's about it. He can run straight," Taylor-Britt told reporters. "Run jet sweeps and just run straight. He can't do too much else, that's about it.

I feel like you put your hands on him, he's only a hundred something pounds, so if you put hands on him, you'll stop his speed, so basically get hands on him."

Meanwhile, Zac Taylor had a different tone when asked about Worthy.

"He's a great receiver," Taylor said. "We enjoyed studying him at Texas. I went to the Pro Day. He's tremendously fast, but he's very aware he's a good football player. He's not just a fast guy that plays football, he's he's a fast guy that's a really good football player. And so there's toughness to him. He's got really good hands, and he's got great awareness, you know. When he can get those soft zones and be able to run free, it creates challenges for you."

The Bengals are hoping to avoid their third-straight 0-2 start. Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
