According to National Football League media’s Rand Getlin, the Cincinnati Bengals will not have their superstar tight end Tyler Eifert for their Week 16 matchup versus the Denver Broncos. The Cincinnati Bengals ground game is averaging 110.9 yards per contest, and Giovani Bernard leads the way with 680 yards and two touchdowns.

Flooding Fears: Flash Flood Watch issued for the Ozarks
And this Thursday morning other parts of Western North Carolina would have been measuring snow depths of several feet. The National Weather Service issued Friday morning a hazardous weather outlook for increased flood potential.
Eifert sustained a concussion in the Bengals’ loss in Week 14 to their AFC North rival in Pittsburgh Steelers on a hit from safety Mike Mitchell. “For me to sit here and say we don’t pay attention to that, that’s a lie”. We will find out on primetime Monday night if the players are going to back up their words and “execute” the plays down the stretch and in the clutch to keep their playoff hopes alive.

There will be a “draft” on January 27, which will be televised on ESPN at 8 p.m. with Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin picking teams. That means that if the ten Panthers go to the Pro Bowl , they may well have to face each other on opposite teams.
For Denver, it’s that rare balance that allows the Broncos to stop everything. “We as a team want to get better and as a defense we don’t want to give up that many points”. The Broncos were torched by Pittsburgh’s passing game, but they are tied for the league lead with 47 sacks and feature the No. 1 run defense.EXTRA POINTS1.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and a winter of discontent, a season of police bullhorns and Christmas lights. A line of officers rebuffed protesters who attempted to enter the train station. “You guys OK?” the dispatcher says.
The Bengals have given up a lot more yards – they rank ninth overall, including No. 8 against the rush and No. 18 against the pass. But when it comes to stopping opponents in scoring range, nobody has been better. I’ll ride the Broncos as 3-point favorites at minus-120, the line posted at CG Technology, Golden Nugget and William Hill books.
Seattle is second at 248 points, Kansas City third at 257, Denver fourth at 259, Green Bay fifth at 265, and New England and Arizona tied for sixth at 269. Carlos Dunlap has a career high 10.5 and Geno Atkins has 10. On a bigger note though, the Bengals have 19 interceptions as a team with Reggie Nelson leading the pack with eight.
Fantasy impact: Tyler Kroft will start in Eifert’s place, but he is not deserving of fantasy consideration.
For one, the Steelers’ three second-half touchdown drives went for 58, 60 and 37 yards, as the Broncos didn’t do enough on offense or special teams to improve the defense’s lot on field position. In 31 games on Monday night, the Bengals have managed to win only 10 of those games for a. 323 winning percentage. The Bengals run defense looked porous against the San Francisco 49ers early on and I expect the Broncos to run the ball as much as possible. Dalton has a broken right thumb and could be back in the playoffs if the bone heals quickly.
“Going to prepare the same way”, the Alabama native said. LB Emmanuel Lamur (hamstring) and LB Vincent Rey (hamstring) were limited. Offensive tackle Jake Fisher has practiced every day this week after missing last week with a concussion.
CB Chris Lewis-Harris was signed by the Bengals from their practice squad Thursday (Dec. 24).

“All great quarterbacks – I’m not calling myself a great quarterback – just saying all the great quarterbacks in the history of the National Football League have been a game manager of some sort, whether it’s knowing the clock, knowing the situation, when to take a sack, when to throw the ball away, when you can take a little more risk, when not to”, McCarron said.
