“I’ve lost four in a row, so no”, Fisher said.

Cincinnati finds a way to get right in this one.
Fisher provided an update on receiver Stedman Bailey, who was shot in the head Tuesday while sitting in a parked vehicle outside a home in the Miami area, where he attended high school. It’s Fisher who has overseen a team that has posted a record that has gotten progressively worse each season of his tenure and might bottom out this year unless there are wins left on the schedule that aren’t apparent to the naked eye.
“Promptly after the conclusion of yesterday’s game, we began a review to determine the facts of the injury to St. Louis quarterback Case Keenum and why he was not removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by a team physician or the unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant as required by our concussion protocols”. He did nothing to show that Fisher made the wrong move benching him a week ago. Foles went 30 of 46 for 228 yards. He threw three interceptions and finished with a passer rating of 49.9. Firing Fisher would be a nice step toward changing the culture of the franchise, if nothing else, and a new head coach with a fresh voice can only make things better going forward. The Bengals ganged up on Todd Gurley, limiting him to 19 yards on nine carries. The running game this season largely has been a tool by which to set up the passing game.
“It was pretty cool, especially the first time we ran it, Tavon running for 60 yards”, Gurley said.
This season, the Rams are among the league leaders in penalties, have lost 10 fumbles and have blown second-half leads in two of these past four losses. “It’s not about how you fall down but about how you pick yourself back up”.
But that was it for Rams offensive highlights.
But the current two-game losing streak that feels like a slight skid could take on the tenor of a head-on crash if the Bengals aren’t able to straighten things out against a struggling St. Louis Rams team that is trying to steer out of its own three-game fishtail. Receiver A.J. Green called his first-quarter touchdown catch one of the easiest of his career.

The Rams were driving for another score in the final minute of the second quarter, but Bengals safety George Iloka broke up a pass for St. Louis tight end Jared Cook at the 5-yard line, and safety Reggie Nelson swooped in for a diving interception. “If I can scramble and get good yardage, I will”. He was spectacular in getting the ball out, making 74% of his throws, completions. It was seen that a trainer went to the field to do a check on the quarterback but he obviously did not remove him in order to be subjected to an official concussion evaluation, something the National Football League has been quite strict since the protocol was created and implemented. Manning did throw fourth quarterback touchdown passes to Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham, Jr.to make the score respectable. The Bengals went on a seven-play, 63-yard scoring drive that ended with a 10-yard Dalton pass to a wide-open Green. Fisher, before his hasty press conference exit, told reporters that Mannion isn’t ready for starter’s duty.
