Post-Game Thread: Detroit Lions (2-10) 13 - Cincinnati Bengals (9-3) 23
The Bengals won another snoozefest this week against another awful team, reminiscent of last week's boring win against the awful Browns. But, hey, a win is a win, and a winning season we have secured as the Bengals improved to 9-3 with 4 games to play.
Carson Palmer turned the ball over 3 times. The defense played pretty well, including making a few take aways of its own and scoring a touchdown to help carry the Bengals to victory. Penalties were rampant and a problem. Tackling was a problem at times, too. But the Bengals took care of business, I guess, and style points don't really matter at this point to anyone but the pundits.
Here are some stats, because I'm bored and complacent since the Bengals won easily. Oh yeah, some notable notes... Bengals are the first team ever to have 3 different backs go for over 100 yards in 3 straight games, and they've recorded the biggest 12 game turnaround ever (from 2-11-1 to 9-3).
- Penalties: CIN - 9: 75, DET - 7:45
- Time of Possession: CIN - 38:48, DET - 21:12
- First Downs: CIN - 22, DET - 14
- 3rd Downs: CIN - 6/15, DET - 2/11
- Rushing: CIN - 41 carries, 122 yards, 3.0 ypc, DET - 20 carries, 80 yards, 4 ypc
- Passing: CIN - 17/29, 220, 7.9, 1 TD, 2 INT , DET - 13/29, 192, 5.7 ypc, 1 TD, 2 INT
- QB Pressure (Sacks/Hits): CIN - 3/8 , DET - 2/3
- Secondary (Int/Passes Defensed): CIN - 2/8, DET - 2/5

BTW, Oakland is driving. Down 4, 41 seconds left.
Pittsburgh forced to take a time out for injury, 1st and 10 Oakland at the Pitt 40.
and we own Favre...

Jason Campbell against the Saints
26/37 331 yards and 3 TDs
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
Gradkowski in the gun...
Looks middle, throws middle, incomplete with a flag down. It’s gonna be PI on Ryan Clark, first and goal for the Raiders at the 2!
ALMOST caught in the back of the endzone. Oakland has 15 seconds and 1 timeout.
Ben Roethlisberger is ready to cry. Gradkowski is just throwing things up for grabs. How did this guy beat us?
Wasington just got a first down inside the five yard line with 3 minutes left, winning already by a TD

Quinn goes 6/6 for 61 yards and throws a TD pass to take the lead over the Chargers.

Credit to the Lions,they played tough at times,we were pretty predictable but it was good to get Ocho back in the game. Benson looked rusty at times but I think we will see a more focused effort the next two weeks. We did miss Peko today.
I agree about Peko. It was obvious he was out today.
