Year after year Bengals and Browns fans get hyped up for the annual “Battle of Ohio”. The first edition of this years fight could not be decided in regulation, as it took extra time for the Bengals to escape the Dawg Pound with a victory. The hype leading up to this game was huge, as Browns DB Eric Wright talked some smack on the website “Twitter”. This smack talk clearly fueled Chad Ochocinco’s aggression as he ended up having a monster day reeling in 3 touchdown catches. Wright did have his say though, as he was able to hold Terrell Owens with out a catch. This game featured little defense, and a lot of fire works from both teams.

The Browns were sitting pretty, up 14-7 late in the 2nd quarter with the ball. That is when a game changing play took place when Leon Hall intercepted a Delhomme pass intended for Cribbs and took it to the house to tie up the game right before half. The swing in momentum from this play was clear immediately after halftime as the Bengals came out of the locker room firing on all cylinders. Ochocinco burned the Browns defense on the 1st play after the 2nd half kickoff and scored on a 78 yard bomb from Palmer. The two hooked up later in the 3rd for another lengthy score as well.

For what seems like the 10th time in the row, Cincinnati built up a 14+ point lead in the 4th quarter only to let it slip away as the game winds down. The Browns were able to score a TD with only a minute left in the game driving the length of the field on the Bengals D. Luckily for the Bengals, they were fortunate enough to win the coin toss in over time and were able to march down the field for the game winning touch down. Next up, the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to town for a scrum.

Jones gones down with injury, Pierce signed

- The Cincinnati Bengals needed to fill a void created by injury in last week's game, and the signing of MLB Antonio Pierce is perfect. He fills in great for the injured Dhani Jones. Jones is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained ankle.​

It did not take long for people watching the game to realize the Bengals game plan going into this game. Attack Tampa’s weak run defense. Mission accomplished, I gues you could say. Cedric Benson broke off a 89-yard touchdown run in the 1st quarter, and never looked back from there. Benson went on to tally up 189 yards and two scores. Buccaneer defenders could do nothing to stop Benson. Carson Palmer had an easy job during this game because all he had to do was hand the ball off and watch ‘Ced do his thang.

Palmer struggled throwing the ball, only completing 13 of his 38 attempts. He was also picked off once by up and coming star Aqib Talib. Last game Palmer and Ochocinco carried this high powered offense. This week the team relied on a great defensive effort and some superb running from Benson. After being shut down last week for no catches against the Browns, T.O. was able to haul in a couple receptions today for 72 yards. The passing game struggled to find any type of rhythm due to pressure and good coverage.

The defense played great today. After Jerome Harrison ran for well over 100 yards last week, the Bengals D toughened up today only giving up 50 yards on the ground. They played solid in the pass game too, aside from giving up one big play to rookie WR Mike Williams. The Bucs fell to 1-3 with the loss, and they look to be headed for another dismal year. Cincinnati upped their record to 4-1 heading into the bye, as they prepare to head into Atlanta in 2 weeks.​


​
 
Looks like Benson is an early MVP candidate. Definitely didn't surprise me that he ran all over the Bucs defense.

For the second week in a row, the Cincinnati Bengals relied on Cedric Benson to lead them to victory. This time, Benson scores the go ahead touchdown with 17 seconds left in the game to give the Bengals a 31-24 comeback win in Atlanta. The score was Benson’s 3rd of the game, bringing his season total to 10 in only 6 games. He gained 164 yards on 20 attempts today, which raises his average to 130.5 Yards Per Game so far. These numbers along with the Bengals 5-1 record has Sportscenter talking about Benson in the MVP Race.

Early on it looked like the Falcons might be a tough match for the Bengals. They got out to a 24-14 lead in the 3rd quarter, thanks in large part to an awful passing performance put on by Carson Palmer. Palmer threw 4 picks in the day, and all of them came before the 4th quarter. This is the second straight dismal outing the quarterback has had, and fans are not happy. Carson needs to start playing better. Plain and simple. The Bengals got a huge break early in the 3rd quarter as Falcons QB Matt Ryan was injured and did not return to the game.

The final turning point in the game took place on the last play of the 3rd quarter. Falcons had just been stopped, and punted the ball to Adam “Pacman” Jones. 93 yards and a cloud of dust later, Jones was dancing in the end zone. Momentum was on the Bengals side the rest of the way. Only down 3 going into the 4th quarter, fans and players both knew it was time for Ced to do his thing. The game was tied, and the Bengals were driving about to kick the go ahead field goal. Benson took matters into his own hands, breaking a few tackles and trotting in for his 3rd score of the day. There was not enough time for a Falcons comeback, and Cincinnati completed the comeback 31-24. The Miami Dolphins head to Cincinnati next week for what should be another great game.

Something finally got to Carson Palmer. Whether it was the fans, the media, or maybe even his teammates. Whatever it was, it worked. Carson came out all guns firing against the Miami Dolphins. He passed for over 300 yards after struggling mightily in the last two games. Cincinnati went back to their old ways of winning. Big plays on offense and big plays on defense. The game started out with the Bengals getting on the board thanks to a Jonathan Joseph interception return for touchdown. It was his 2nd pick 6 of the year, tying him with teammate Leon Hall for the league lead so far.

The Bengals made it evident they were trying to re-establish their passing game. Palmer was able to hook up with rookie Jermaine Gresham twice for scores. He found Ochocinco numerous times as Chad almost went over the century mark. Carson also limited the bad throws, and finally took a few sacks instead of forcing the ball. Still, the Bengals D had a hell of a time trying to contain Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown. Brown had 2 long TD runs and tallied up over 150 yards on the ground. He ran all over the Bengals defense from start to finish on this day. On the flip side, Cedric Benson did not have a great day running the ball. He was contained and only held to a couple punishing runs. Before halftime the Bengals kicker Dave Rayner squandered an opportunity to put the Bengals up by missing a field. Redemption would be oh so sweet.

The game was back and forth during the 3rd and 4th quarters. Both teams had costly turnovers which created for a close finish right down to the wire. The Bengals got possession of the ball with under 3 minutes left in the game. That was all they needed. A combination of runs and passes got the ball down to a long, but very makeable FG attempt for Rayner. Rayner went up and booted the ball through the uprights as time expired, giving the Bengals the 30-27 win. The second week in a row the Bengals have won at the last second. Next week Cincy takes on struggling, bit still hated rival the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bengals. Steelers. Monday Night Football. What more can a football fan ask for? Even though the records may not have looked equal on paper, these two teams always come out and give it their all against each other and no game in this historic series goes down without excitement. This installment of the rivalry was no different. No sugar coating here, these teams just flat out hate each other. They showed it in this primetime matchup with bone jarring hits taking place all game. The Bengals were struck with a catastrophic blow in the 1st quarter, as starting QB Carson Palmer went down with an injury and could not return. Shades of the 2005 Playoffs all over again for Bengals fans. Depth at quarterback is a serious concern for the Bengals, and this game proved that. Carson’s brother, Jordan, had to come in and lead the team to victory.

Once Carson went down with the injury, the team morale was completely deflated. On the play he was injured, Palmer was picked off in the endzone. Backup JT O’Sullivan came in for 1 series, looked atrocious and was immediately replaced by Jordan Palmer. Palmer has absolutely no experience, so Bengals fans were preparing for the worst. Throwing an inexperienced quarterback out against the Steelers on Monday Night Football is like throwing a teddy bear into a lion’s cage. Not much good can come out of it…most would think. In a defensive battle where every yard was fought till the death, the Steelers found themselves up 10-7 at halftime thanks to a Troy Polamalu pick 6 right before half.

The 3rd quarter brought the excitement that was for sure. With the Steelers driving, Leon Hall picked off a pass for what nearly everyone thought would be a touchback. NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND. For some reason, the refs decided it was a safety against the Bengals! So instead of having the ball down 3, they were now punting the ball away down 5. A few plays after the free kick, Hines Ward broke about 7 tackles in route for a long touchdown, and after a fail 2-point conversion the Bengals found themselves down 18-7. Just like that. At this point, most fans are thinking its over with the Steelers D playing tough, and Jordan Palmer at quarterback. Fans must not forget that Cedric Benson is on the team. Benson would not let his team go down without a fight, and kept pummeling away at the Pittsburgh front line racking up minimal gains most of the time, but wearing the D down.

The turning point of the game came late in the 3rd quarter with the Bengals down 11, and punting the ball away to Pittsburgh. That is when Brandon Ghee, the rookie out of Wake Forest, made the biggest play of his career. Ghee crushed Logan on the punt return, and Pacman was able to recover the ball giving the Bengals great field position. Benson would punch it in pulling Cincinnati within 5. After another stop, it was Jordan Palmer’s time to shine. And shine he did. Palmer went 5/5 on the game winning drive, including the go-ahead TD to Terrell Owens just before the 2-minute warning. The score was Owens’ first on the year, but a vital one for the Bengals. Jordan wasn’t done there, as he ran in the 2 point conversion attempt to put the Bengals up 3. After a defensive stop, the Bengals found themselves unlikely victors 21-18. The true test comes next week as Cincinnati travels to face the Indianapolis Colts who are undefeated on the year so far at 8-0.

Shortly after the game it was found that Carson Palmer has a partial tear in his groin. He will miss 2 weeks of action. Palmer misses the Bengals showdown with the undefeated Colts next week, but shouldn’t be needed in Week 11 as the winless Bills come to down.

Early signs are that the Bengals front office will be signing a free agent over the next few days. Names such as Colt Brennan, Jamarcus Russell, and Mike Teel are being thrown into the fray as far as possible replacements for Palmer. More to come on who the Bengals pick up in a few days.
