It was the second first-quarter TD this season for Seattle. The Bengals will host the game at 1 p.m. ET.

Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford’s passes keep getting caught in the end zone – but the problem is that the Saints are the ones hauling in the football. After four straight first-round playoff losses, their legacy is defined not by October but by January. But if the Seahawks are going to stay ahead of Cincinnati and its big-play passing offense, their secondary is going to have to stay on top. But a shakier win since the notorious FailMary, we have not seen.
So the Panthers should get a 2-3 team when they head west late next week.
The Seahawks better thank the refs for last week’s win because heading to Cincy to avoid 1-4 would have been a death mission. Unlike Monday night, when Kam Chancellor stripped the ball from Detroit’s Calvin Johnson to preserve a 13-10 win, it couldn’t come up with the big play at the end.
Seattle’s defense has been championship caliber, allowing no touchdowns and only one field goal in opponents’ past 20 possessions. Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton and Green Bay’s All-World Aaron Rodgers are the league’s top two rated passers. The offense generally doesn’t get going until the second half of games. It took the wind off the team and they tried to make things better in the second week. “I understand that, but we all have to play better and help so that we can execute the way we want to”.
Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson thinks the softball game held a couple of days before the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Cincinnati was a “turning point” for Dalton. He’s got plenty of options, with a receiver group that’s deep and versatile.
Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill (32) reacts after… This week, the Bengals will face off against a Seattle Seahawks team at home. “But it doesn’t matter right now”.
That forced another kick, and the Titans started their first drive at their own 23 rather than the 2.
Not only are the Bengals 4-0, but they’ve also been as impressive as any squad one quarter into their schedule.
PICKING IT OFF: Even though Seattle’s defense has been so stingy, it has yet to get an interception. The Seahawks are that close from blowing teams out.
Later, Dalton made another great timing and anticipation throw on third down and 11. Cincinnati prevailed 34-14, but it marked the first start for a certain cornerback by the name of Richard Sherman. They overcame a record-setting day by kicker Cairo Santos. Cincinnati overcame an 18-point deficit to beat Arizona 24-21 in the 1997 season.
Start “em: You don’t love any receiver facing Seattle, but A.J”. Carroll said when asked about Lynch’s condition.

Lynch had played in 61 consecutive regular-season games prior to sitting out versus Detroit. We’ve had conversations, and his resume speaks for itself. Has there been a significant change in his play, or will regression to the mean eventually catch up to him? The Seahawks had not completed Friday’s practice before releasing their injury report, so there’s no word on whether Jackson was able to do something during the final session of the week. Russell Wilson was sacked six times by Detroit and has been dropped 18 times in four games. “He needs another weekend to get through it and then by next week, by Wednesday or something, we think we can get him going again”. They’ve played very well in the early portions of the season.
