With the bye week, there will be an absence of certain postings, such as the injury report and the primer. However, that won't stop us from our curiosity of updated team and player rankings, does it? We have to see where we fall after last week in which the offense played great and the defense played better. So, in the interest of statistical glory, I updated rankings with the team and our triumvirate of awesomeness in Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson and Chad Ochocinco. I did the team rankings a bit differently. Instead of comparing the Bengals to the team they're facing, I compared them to the league leaders of that statistical category.

I think maybe Ocho’s Receptions and Yards are backward. I think he’s doing better than 2.5 inches/catch. :)
