Andy Dalton completed 20 of 27 passes for 233 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday’s win over St. Louis. With a very risky pass offense and a Bengals team that was hungry for a win, quarterback Andy Dalton and receiver A.J. Green would be two names that would be heard throughout the game.

Derek Carr’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Seth Roberts with 81 seconds remaining clinched the Oakland Raiders a 24-21 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The team overall has 82 yards rushing, 16 carries, no touchdowns. The third TD throw went to tight end Tyler Eifert.
On the ensuing Rams possession, a scrambling Foles threw his second interception of the day, with this one returned 19 yards by Bengals cornerback Leon Hall for a touchdown and a 31-7 Cincinnati lead. “It definitely hurts. We all play to hold the trophy, and just get in the tournament and have a chance”.
The could become the first team to play two National Football League games in London in the same season, and in consecutive weeks.
This season, the Jags won for the first time in London, coming back to beat the 34-31.
No shame in that loss.
On Sunday, October 2, “London’s team”, the Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Indianapolis Colts, in an AFC divisional match-up, at Wembley Stadium. “Every week you want to turn it around and it’s one of those things where it’s longer than you think”. “It’s all about not building bad habits”.
“They’re not always going to be like this, but it’s nice to kind of control the game, especially the way we did”, Dalton said. “Good focus this week in all three phases”.
The Rams were just what the doctor ordered.
The Rams benched QB Nick Foles and started Case Keenum last week, and the Rams still could not get anything going on offense. Foles so far has 86 yards passing, one touchdown.
DONALD AND ATKINS: The game matches two of NFL’s top defensive tackles. The Rams have not had a winning season under Fisher and haven’t finished over. Gio Bernard made a big run on the key drive in the third quarter.
When discussing a four-game losing streak that has seen the team plunge from 4-3 to 4-7, Fisher said, “Anyone who implies that it’s an effort issue and they can kiss my ass, OK?”
Starting kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin), who practiced all week with no problems, but was limited on Friday, was added to the list following Friday’s team workout. That’s what happens when you lose four in a row. If he’s completely cleared and he feels good, then he’ll (Keenum) start. Cleveland is on the travel schedule for next week before Cincinnati returns home for a marquee matchup with Pittsburgh on December 13. What we’re able to gather is he was just simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

When you are these Bengals, boring is lovely.
