Lions vs Bengals live stream: Watch online free 1:00 ET CBS for NFC-AFC showdown in Detroit with both teams sitting at 4-2 with two young quarterbacks looking to make the steps in their respective careers.

The Bengals vs Lions matchup is the first time in four years that two meet. It was a 23-13 victory by Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Detroit in 2009. Watch the free live stream online as Andy Dalton gets his first chance to quarterback Cincinnati against the Lions.

Watch the free live stream online as both teams are coming off victories and one team will start a winning-streak as the other drops down to 4-3. The Lions vs Bengals game is with an improved defense in Detroit and a front-four in Cincy that likes to get after the quarterback.

This young quarterback stars matchup features two players who are having up-and-down seasons. Dalton has completed 140 of 215 pass attempts for 1552 yards, eight touchdowns and six interceptions. Stafford has had a better season statistically, completing 150 of 239 passes for 1772 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that it is the end of games where his team needs improvement.

"As far as the biggest improvement, it would be to close the games out," Lewis told reporters as his team is preparing for its second of four road games in a five-week stretch. "That's going to be important. We had a couple of opportunities to close it out and didn't get it done."

The Lions have a defense that likes to win the turnover battle. Last week, DeAndre Levy had two interceptions in last week's 31-17 win at Cleveland and is tied for the NFL lead with four.

"We still have a long way to go, but when you look at our four wins, when we win the turnover battle, it puts us in good position to win the game," Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said.

Both teams bring great running attacks with Reggie Bush and Joique Bell for Detroit who collectively rushed for over 550 yards and four touchdowns. Cincy brings the duo of Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis and Gio Bernard, who collectively nearly the same amount of yardage, but five touchdowns.
