Cincinnati was machine-like in its opening drive, going 63 yards in seven plays including a 10-yard touchdown pass from Dalton to Green, who was left uncovered in the end zone. We’ve proven that we can win.
And the defensive line wants to be known as the best in the league and with the Rams’ line and their five first-round picks in town, the Bengals flexed their muscles. The battle with St. Louis would take place one week prior to Cincinnati on October 23, 2016. “And I don’t think it’s fair to point it all at Jeff”. If he was the culprit, defensive tackle Geno Atkins was one of the Cincinnati defenders who quietly internalized them.
“It’s got to be tough with two young dudes there”, Peko said. The running game this season largely has been a tool by which to set up the passing game.
Reggie Nelson bailed Kirkpatrick out with an interception at the Bengal 10. Offensive lineman Cedric Ogbuehi, the Bengals’ top draft choice in 2015, reportedly will take Darqueze Dennard’s spot on the 53-man roster after the second-year corner suffered a serious should injury on Sunday.
They only faltered once.
However, the Rams countered with an impressive drive of their own facilitated by lightning-quick wide receiver Tavon Austin.
After an 8-yard run by Gurley – his longest of the day – Austin scored on another jet sweep around right end, this time taking the handoff from Foles on a five-yard run. They have fallen to 4-6 and another loss today would see their chances of making the postseason be all but extinguished. “We just didn’t communicate it right”, Peko said. “But we’re going to keep working at it. We’ve got to get more production on offense”.
The Bengals handled the St. Louis Rams the way you would expect the now 9-2 Bengals would handle a mediocre team, building a 10-point halftime lead, stretching it out in the third quarter, intercepting three passes on the afternoon, grinding out 140 rushing yards and walking off with a workmanlike 31-7 victory.
“We’ve all contributed to this”, Laurinaitis said.
The four-game lead in the loss column has been trimmed in half. “It might be from a different formation, but it’s the same play”. I mean, as an organization, we can’t worry about what people say.
Back-up quarterback, Brock Osweiler, proved capable of getting points on the board, but was slow to start, something he will have to change this week, as Brady won’t willingly give him many opportunities.
Last week Johnny Manziel was riding high after the Browns made him starting quarterback, for the rest of the season, and the National Football League decided not to discipline him for an incident involving his girlfriend.

As it usually does, the good work upfront paved way for some good work in the secondary. In addition to this offensive struggle, it must be noted that Greg Robinson notched up even more holding penalties in this game, as he continues to play a prominent role in the failure of this offense.
