The Bengals aren't going to be able to sneak up on opponents anymore. At 6-0, the team that used to be hunters is now the hunted. To maintain success while the target upon them continues to grow, the Bengals must keep fighting that way. Even their parents know that.

Andrew Whitworth frustrated by naked video, NFL policy
A video surfaced Sunday night of a taped NFL Network interview segment with Adam Jones in the Bengals locker room which included multiple Bengals in the background fully naked from both behind and the side. It prompted jokes across the Internet as it spread Monday. Bengals offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth, who was among those naked in the background of the national TV interview, wasn’t laughing as he addressed the topic Monday.
Notes: Hue checkmates Rex; Whit, NFL Network react; Rey, Mike look good; Looking for more from Hill
Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson got the last word on Bills head coach Rex Ryan. Whether it was gamesmanship or whatever on Ryan’s part when he A.) signed former Bengals quarterback Josh Johnson earlier in the week and then B.) made him a captain for the game even though he’d been in Buffalo slightly longer than Sunday’s snow squall, who knows? But it didn’t work because people are beginning to talk in Western New York. Not many forget the Bills hired Ryan at the 11th hour instead of Jackson after Jackson had pledged to keep defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Bills sack artist Mario Williams apparently questioning the defense in the postgame was a nasty juxtaposition.
Bengals QB Andy Dalton furthers MVP bid as excellence becomes his norm
Ho-hum, just another day at the office for Andy Dalton. Against the Buffalo Bills in a key midyear road test, the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback had the type of Sunday that is becoming the norm for him: 243 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, no sacks, a QBR greater than 85 and a passer rating higher than 115. It was just another routine day in the quarterbacking life of the NFL's most improved offensive player.

Mario Williams unloads on Rex Ryan, Buffalo Bills' pass-rush plans
e Buffalo Bills' once-vaunted pass rush was unable to corral Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton even once during the Bengals' 34-21 win over the Bills on Sunday, and if Mario Williams' post-game commentary is any indication, frustration over the matter is starting to reach a fever pitch.
Bills-Bengals final score: Buffalo flat in loss to Cincinnati, 34-21
The Buffalo Bills were able to close the gap to 17-14 at halftime but the third quarter belonged to the Cincinnati Bengals, who scored touchdowns on two long drives in the frame to put the game out of reach. The Bills (1-3 at home in 2015) haven't had a worse four-game start at home since the 2010 season, when they 0-4 at home and 0-8 overall.
'Cold front' is accurate name for frozen Buffalo Bills defensive line
Despite Rex Ryan's reputation as one of the NFL's best defensive strategists, his defensive front has been frozen in place this season, and it's a growing problem. The Bills were held to just nine sacks through the first five games and failed to register a sack of Andy Dalton in Sunday's 34-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Inside Football: As bad as Peyton is now, it's only going to get worse
The Denver Broncos look like another one-and-done for Peyton Manning to me. Undefeated or not, this team actually finds ways to devolve offensively from week to week. Manning is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league right now, and it's hard for me to imagine that he's going to elevate his play now with age and health and the weather all increasingly working against him.
