<p><span>Bengals fan Christa Barrett, who was supposed to get Jermaine Gresham's TD ball but was intercepted by Tony Williams , also appeared on the NFL Network's NFL AM on Tuesday and said she felt "terrible for the guy."</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>"I don't think he deserves the backlash he's been getting," Barrett said on the show. "I think we both were just fighting for a ball and he won."</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Williams </span><a href="http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2014/11/saints_fan_who_snagged_gresham.html" target="_blank">told The Times-Picayune this week</a><span> that "the Mardi Gras instinct kicked in" when he saw the ball in the air and that he was a little hurt by the backlash he's received.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>"They're making me out to be a villain," said Williams, who was King Zulu in 2002. "All I did was catch the football. I didn't elbow the lady or anything.</span></p>
<p><span>"If you look at the film, I turned away from the lady with my shoulder. But the people are saying I deliberately hit the lady." </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>As much of a fuss that both fans and media alike made about William's mistreatment of Barrett, it's safe to say she has no ill feeling against him, so why should anyone else?</p>

<p>It's one thing to come out of New Orleans with a win, but to thoroughly dominate the Saints like Cincinnati did takes a full team effort. </p> <p>It took a team effort for the <a href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Bengals</a> to come out of New Orleans with a 27-10 win, but the play of quarterback <span>Andy Dalton</span> was critical to Cincinnati getting the victory.</p>
<p>Coming off one of the worst performances by a quarterback in recent memory, Dalton rebounded to have arguably the best game of his four-year NFL career.</p>
<p>After throwing for just 86 yards and completing 10 of 33 passes in Week 10, Dalton threw for 220 yards and three scores while completing 16 of 22 passes vs. the <a href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Saints</a> in Week 11.</p>
<p>For his efforts, <a target="_blank" href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1641763&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.profootballfocus.com%2Fblog%2F2014%2F11%2F17%2Fall-star-team-of-the-week-week-11%2F&referrer=sbnation.com&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cincyjungle.com%2F2014%2F11%2F18%2F7238217%2Fandy-dalton-bengals-make-pff-all-star-team-week" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener">Dalton was named to the Pro Football Focus team of the week</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Quarterback: Andy Dalton, CIN (+6.8)</span></p>
<p><span>While it’s never good for the Bengals when "Bad Andy" makes an appearance, this was him at his best. Terrific throughout, it was the complete opposite of the debacle we saw on Thursday Night Football last week.</span></p>
<p><span>Honorable Mention: <span>Aaron Rodgers</span>, GB</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The fact that Aaron Rogers was an honorable mention behind Dalton tells you just how good of a game Dalton had, but he wasn't the only Bengal to excel at New Orleans.</p>
<p><span>Ryan Hewitt</span> earned the highest mark by a fullback/h-back in Week 11, and offensive guard <span>Clint Boling</span> and defensive end <span>Carlos Dunlap</span> did the same at their positions.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>Avoiding giving up a pressure in the passing game, Boling added some really nice blocks in the running game to grade out as a our top guard so far this week. </span></p>
<p><span>Dunlap might not have sacked <span>Drew Brees</span>, but he came away with four hits and three hurries.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Bengals picked the right time for several players to have their best games of the season. It's one thing to come out of New Orleans with a win, but to thoroughly dominate the Saints like Cincinnati did takes a full team effort.</p>

<p>We take a look at the best and worst in the Cincinnati Bengals' solid road win against the New Orleans Saints.</p> <p>What a difference a week and a half makes. After looking totally unprepared and frightened by the big Thursday Night stage, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Cincinnati Bengals</a> thoroughly dominated every aspect of the game on Sunday in New Orleans. It's an impressive feat to go into the Superdome and defeat the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">Saints</a>, as they have just lost there twice (back-to-back games, no less) since 2010.</p>
<p>Everything that the Bengals did poorly against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.dawgsbynature.com/">Browns</a> looked as if it had been completely tightened up in the extended week leading up to this one. It would have been one thing for the Bengals to turn around and just be competitive in this game but it was quite another with the result we saw on the field.</p>
<h3>The Good:</h3>
<p><i><b><span>Andy Dalton</span>: </b></i>After suffering through one of his worst performances as a pro, Dalton got back to work immediately and really focused in this week. It showed with his near-impeccable 143.9 quarterback rating. He looked poised and sure of nearly every throw he made, missing just six passes on the day (a couple were dropped, too). Dalton had zero turnovers and was also cited on the "Dilfer's Dimes", ESPN SportsCenter segment from former NFL quarterback, Trent Dilfer. Two of Dalton's deep balls to <span>A.J. Green</span> were ridiculously accurate, which was something we didn't see against the Browns.</p>
<p><i><b><span>Jeremy Hill</span>: </b></i>The success level of Hill in his limited starts reminds me of another Bengals back taken in the second round of the draft--<span>Corey Dillon</span> in 1997. Don't get me wrong--the styles of the two aren't the same. But, Hill is showing his value and has quickly become the shining jewel of Cincinnati's 2014 draft class. In his last three games, all starts, Hill averaged 120.3 rushing yards and 5.7 yards per carry. It will be interesting to see how Hill is used once <span>Giovani Bernard</span> returns, but his workload should be increased from the early parts of the season.</p>
<p><i><b><span>A.J. Green</span>: </b></i>The Bengals' Pro Bowl wideout had a frustrating start to the game, but everyone decided he was set to take over the game in the second half. After catching two deep balls from Dalton, one for a game-sealing touchdown, Green finished with six catches for 124 yards and the score. The 38-yarder down the sideline might have been the play of the game, as the Bengals faced a third-and-18 deep in their own territory, right after the Saints scored a touchdown to inch closer. Green's presence on the field clearly makes Dalton more comfortable and allows the offense to do more.</p>
<p><i><b>The Run Defense: </b></i>The Bengals came in 31st against the run and it didn't look promising with the Saints' No. 6 rushing attack. The depleted unit came in allowing over 100 yards on the ground in each of the last seven games, while the Saints' Mark Ingram had three straight 100-yard rushing games. Something had to give and the Bengals won the day here. He had only 2.9 yards per carry, while the team stumbled to just three first downs via the run and 75 overall on the afternoon.</p>
<p><i><b>The Duo From The Pacific--Rey Maualuga and <span>Domata Peko</span>: </b></i>Maualuga had missed the past four games with a hamstring injury and his physical presence was obviously missed. Peko hadn't been playing very good football for a while, but was huge in this one, with eight total tackles. Though Maualuga was only credited with three total tackles, one was the huge <a href="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014-bengals-saints-week-11/2014/11/16/7232371/goalline-stand-set-the-tone-for-bengals-27-10-win-over-saints">goal line stop to swing momentum for the rest of the game</a>.</p>
<p><i><b><span>Carlos Dunlap</span>: </b></i>Once again, Dunlap was incredibly active up front on Sunday. Though he had only two tackles and zero sacks, he had multiple pressures, a batted pass and a forced fumble. One of the pressures led to a holding penalty, in which he pushed the tackle back into <span>Drew Brees</span>' comfort zone.</p>
<p><i><b>Taking Away New Orleans' Ability For A Big Offensive Play: </b></i>Credit Paul Guenther for his defensive scheme on Sunday, as he has been much-maligned through the first half of the year. All-World tight end <span>Jimmy Graham</span> was bracketed with multiple defenders most of the day and was held to just 29 yards receiving. Brees normally likes to take more than a few "bombs away" shots per game, but the defense didn't allow players to get open deep. Though Brees had a high completion percentage on the day (81 percent), most were shorter routes that had minimal damage, as evidenced by no receivers going over 60 yards receiving on the day.</p>
<p><i><b>Coaching: </b></i>Major kudos goes to the Bengals' staff for getting the players' heads right after such an embarrassing loss. This was a game in which almost everyone figured the Saints to be the victor, but handing a 17-point loss to the Saints was a beautiful sight for a team needing a confidence boost. The offense was efficient and selective, while the defense frustrated New Orleans all day long. Perhaps best of all <a href="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014-bengals-saints-week-11/2014/11/17/7233419/marvin-lewis-proud-of-effort-and-attention-to-detail">was the overall effort by the players</a>, which was on display in examples like diving receptions, goal line stands and the like.</p>
<p><b style="font-style: italic;"><span>Jermaine Gresham</span>: </b>It was ugly, but somehow No. 84 managed to get two catches for two scores on Sunday. Somehow, after fumbling the football, Gresham kicked the loose ball back around to his vicinity, tuck with the play and dove on the ball for a touchdown. The other was a well-designed play in which he was all alone for a walk-in score. Perhaps the best of Gresham's day came with gestures to two sisters at the game. After todding a ball to a Bengals fan after his score, the ball was ripped away from a young lady by a Saints fan. After the guy <a href="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014-bengals-saints-week-11/2014/11/17/7234961/meet-christa-barrett-bengals-fan-of-the-week">refused to give it to Christa Barrett</a>, Gresham told Christa's sister that he'd figure out something nice to do for them. Classy.</p>
<p><i><b>The Offensive Line: </b></i>This unit showed up big time on Sunday after a poor effort the previous Thursday. Marshall Newhouse had far less struggles and the unit paved way for the aforementioned huge day from Hill. They did allow one sack on the afternoon, but Dalton was pretty clean the rest of the afternoon.</p>
<p><i><b>Third Down Offense: </b></i>Dalton led his team to a 69 percent success rate on third downs, with a few being huge key plays to secure the win. The 38-yarder on third-and-18 to Green was a huge play and the Saints defense was visibly frustrated when they couldn't get off the field.</p>
<h3>The Bad:</h3>
<p><i><b><span>Mohamed Sanu</span>: </b></i>Though the third-year wide receiver has stepped up big when both Green and <span>Marvin Jones</span> were/are out, he didn't play very well on Sunday. He had just three catches for 23 yards and had at least one obvious drop, maybe two. The Bengals were fortunate to get contributions from Gresham and Green, otherwise the day on offense might have looked much uglier.</p>
<p><i><b>Fumbles: </b></i>Though they recovered both of them, the team still showed a penchant for putting the ball on the ground after committing four turnovers the week before. Had Gresham not picked up his own fumble and scored, this game might have looked completely different. With huge games coming up against Houston, Denver, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, the Bengals will need to take extra special care of the football.</p>
<p><i><b>Third Down Defense: </b></i>For all of the positives that the Bengals defense provided on Sunday, they still allowed Brees and Co. to convert 61 percent of their third down tries. It's understandable, as defenses usually need to give up one aspect to the future Hall of Fame quarterback, but that number is higher than they would like to see, I'm sure.</p>
<h3>The Ugly:</h3>
<p><i><b>Big Amount Of QB Pressures, Minimal Sacks: </b></i>The Bengals defense was able to fluster Brees on the afternoon, but only got him to the ground once. It seemed as if the defensive game plan was to limit the blitz and keep defenders back to defend against long passes. To that point, the team executed that well, however, sacking the elite quarterbacks is something that needs to be done to routinely be successful against the big boys. They only have 13 total sacks this year, good for a tie at 29th this season.</p>
<p><i><b>Jermaine Gresham: </b></i>Yes, two touchdowns, but both were nerve-inducing. Obviously, the fumble on the first catch of his ended in an incredibly lucky result, but the second catch was actually bobbled, even though he was all alone. The little things keep plaguing the veteran tight end and it always seems to be an adventure when the ball comes his way. Still a good game from the big guy, but he was oh-so-close to making the day a disastrous one.</p>
<p><i><b><span>Tony Williams</span>: </b></i>No, not the former Bengals defensive lineman. We're talking about the Saints fan who had the audacity to elbow a female Bengals fan in the face to get a game ball tossed to her by Gresham. This story is viral now, so we'll just say that the guy acted like a total tool in the situation.</p>

<p>The story of Christa Barrett's experience in the New Orleans Superdome has been well-documented since Sunday. She recounts the experience with the Saints fan that took a souvenir football away from her, tossed by Jermaine Gresham after a touchdown.</p> <p>It's likely that you didn't believe when you saw it happen. A grown man, pouting about his team losing at home, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014/11/16/7230537/bengals-fan-who-had-ball-intercepted-by-saints-fan-gets-one-after-all">decided that he wanted to bully a female fan of the opposing team</a> because this was "his house". Don't men from the south pride themselves on being gentlemen? Well, not the case for New Orleans uber-fan, Tony Williams.</p>
<p><iframe class="vine-embed" src="https://vine.co/v/O5IdKxqgOaU/embed/simple" frameborder="0" height="600" width="600"></iframe>
<script src="//platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</p>
<p>Christa Barrett is the distraught young lady that you see as Williams snags the ball away from her. "We were planning on running down to the field or as far as we could get when the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Bengals</a> scored a touchdown and hopefully try and get the ball," she said, <a href="http://www.wwltv.com/story/sports/nfl/saints/2014/11/16/saints-fan-goes-viral-for-intercepting-ball-from-woman/19145103/">according to CBS 4 in New Orleans</a>. Barrett was originally from Kentucky and has recently moved to New Orleans, keeping her Bengals fandom intact. It's because of her rooting for the opposition that seemed to not sit well with Williams.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Honestly, I know the pictures looked a lot worse than it really was," Barrett said. "I think it was just think an honest fight for the ball and he got it before I did.</p>
<p>"It wasn't like I got any bruises or anything like that."</p>
<p>Barrett, along with most of the surrounding <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">Saints</a> fans, pleaded with Williams to give the ball to its intended target. However, he was having none of it.</p>
<p>"It was intense! The whole crowd was chanting for the Saints fan to give the Bengals fan the ball, but he wouldn't budge," said WWLTV producer Sofia Hackett, who was sitting directly behind Williams. "She was very gracious and even apologized to the man, saying she didn't mean for it to get so out of hand."</p>
<p>Williams repeatedly rebuffed Barrett's pleas, though, and was steadfast in his decision to keep the ball for himself.</p>
<p>"Honestly, we sat back down and all we wanted was a picture with the ball after he took it," she said. "We asked if we could get a picture with the ball and he just kept saying 'No ma'am. No, ma'am.'"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After the moment started gaining national momentum and Williams was beginning to usurp Bengals tight end <span>Jermaine Gresham</span> as "The Villain", the Saints organization quickly made a dash for a PR rescuing move.<a href="http://www.cincyjungle.com/2014/11/16/7230537/bengals-fan-who-had-ball-intercepted-by-saints-fan-gets-one-after-all"> A Saints representative visited Barrett at her seat and handed her a ball</a> of her very own. "I think it was a great show of sportsmanship…and it was amazing that (the Saints) did that," she said. "Everyone was on our side, saying to give (us ) the ball," Barrett said.</p>
<p>Sitting near Barrett was Dennis Lomonaco, who happens to run a charity through Saints punter Thomas Morstead's foundation. Lomonaco was also keen to Barrett's plight and offered her another ball, signed by Morstead. Barrett said that she was flattered, but declined and wanted that gesture to go to more charitable causes. Lomonaco said that they will be donating a football through the Thomas Morstead Foundation to a child at a nearby hospital in Barrett's name.</p>
<p>As for the her new-found popularity, Barrett is shocked, saying: "We had no idea (it had gone viral)," Barrett said. "I'm a little thrown off by it."</p>
<p>And for those wondering, Gresham heard about the hubbub later in the day. Big No 84 decided to be very anti-villain with a tweet he sent out to Christa's sister, Cara (who was with her at the game) on Sunday after the win:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/PrincipalCara">@PrincipalCara</a> Truly sorry about you guys not getting that ball. I'll make sure you guys receive something greater for compensation.</p>

<p>The Saints are even more banged up than they were previously after getting thumped by the Bengals. </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/">New Orleans Saints</a> lost more than just a game on Sunday when they were thumped 27-10 at home by the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.cincyjungle.com/">Cincinnati Bengals</a>. They lost a key player on both sides of the ball as well.</p>
<p>The worst injury was to starting safety <span>Rafael Bush</span>, who was carted off the field after fracturing his tibia in the fourth quarter, and he'll likely be placed on injured reserve at some point this week. Bush's backup, rookie <span>Vinnie Sunseri</span>, suffered a season-ending fractured arm last week.</p>
<p>As for rookie wide receiver <span>Brandin Cooks</span>, it was revealed after the game that he'd suffered some kind of hand injury, and it looks like it's a broken thumb that will cost him significant time.</p>

<p><span>Payton purchased the jerseys out of his own pocket at a cost of $10,000, but he simply thought it was right thing to do. </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>"Just something that listening to the radio was something I heard," said Payton. "When I got into work the next day I talked to my assistant, we looked into it and decided that would be a good deal to do. You get to know a group a little closer than other teams and just hearing how they handled it was pretty inspirational. It was really spontaneous and something I thought would be a good gesture."</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>As for when Payton finally got to meet Still:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span>"It was great to see him and it was the first time I’ve ever met him. Much has been </span><span>written and talked about the story. It’s just something I’ve heard about. It’s good seeing him for the first time.</span><span>You pray for his daughter, (and) you pray for his family."</span></p>

<p>"There’s no doubt I am proud of our effort today," said Lewis after the game. "I’m proud of our execution and our preparation leading up to the game this week. We came out here ready to play and it showed up out there on the field today."</p> <p>Cincinnati Bengals head coach praised his team's effort and attention to detail, following his team's 27-10 win over the favored New Orleans Saints.</p>
<p>"There’s no doubt I am proud of our effort today," said Lewis after the game. "I’m proud of our execution and our preparation leading up to the game this week. We came out here ready to play and it showed up out there on the field today. Most important, I’m proud of our attention to detail out there today, and that was big. It was a good day for us. Now we've got to pack up and look forward to next week and let’s get ready to do it again."</p>
<p>Offensively, the Bengals converted nine of 13 third down opportunities (69 percent). The running game averaged 5.2 yard/rush, lead by Jeremy Hill's 152 yards rushing on 27 carries. Quarterback Andy Dalton had a career-game in terms of passer rating (143.9), wasn't sacked and didn't turn the football over. So apply the benefits provided by Cincinnati's offensive line to both measures.</p>
<p>Even the defense, which played bend-but-don't-break, only allowed 10 points -- according to WLWT that was the lowest points scored by the Saints since '06. Additionally, the defense missed only four tackles (compared to 13 last week against the Browns), and generated 15 total pressures on quarterback Drew Brees.</p>
<p>"We've got to seize the moment and keep doing it," said Lewis. "At this point in the year, this was the football we were going to have to play. Regardless of what happened in the past, we don't get anything for it. We've got to move forward."</p>
