Bengals, still undefeated in AFC North



By: Cooper Ledford

The Cincinnati Bengals sweep the Ravens in the 2 games they played each other this year, the first game Cincinnati won 17-14, this time 17-7. Here is how.


Carson Palmer connected to Andre Caldwell for a 6 yard TD and Cincy was on top 7-0. Later on in the 1st QRT, Cedric Benson added 6 more points with a 1 yard TD run, then the PAT made it 14-0 Bengals on top at the end of 1. Cincinnati would get a 23 yard field goal from Shayne Graham to make it 17-0 at the half. In the 2nd half, the Ravens defense stepped up and shutout the Bengals when it came to points, however Baltimore did get some points. Unfortunately, they only got 7, that was from a Ray Rice 2 yard run and it was 17-7 and that is how the game ended.


Palmer did great, he went 20/33, 224 yards along with 1 TD and no interceptions. Benson had another brilliant game, 117 yards off of 34 carries and 1 TD. Coles lead in receiving, he had 6 receptions, with 72 yards, Ochocinco had 5 with 66 yards. Also, Chris Henry (1 reception, 20 yards) got hurt, it is unknown how long he will be out, if we get any more news, we will let you know.

Bengals make Zimmer happy, get win for Vikki

By: Cooper Ledford

The Cincinnati Bengals were mourning a loss of defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer's wife Vikki, and were trying to get a W for Vikki. They were able to do so, in clutch fashion, like always. Cincinnati won 17-14, here's how.

Baltimore started things out looking great, when Carson Palmer threw a pick to Ed Reed, he took it back 52 yards for the pick 6 and Baltimore had the lead 7-0. Then Shayne Graham kicked a 32-yard field goal to make it a 1 score game, 3-7 Ravens on top, that was the score going into the 3rd quarter. It was Cincy who started things out in the 3rd, when Cedric Benson ran for a 28-yard touchdown, and the Bengals had the lead 10-7. Benson could have lost about 3 yards on the play, but instead got 28, and a touchdown on the side. Baltimore wanted the lead back, and they got it on a Ray Rice reception from Flacco to give the Ravens a 14-10 lead, that was the score going into the 4th quarter. The Bengals were trying to put together another game winning, epic, nail biting final drive, but 1 yard stood in their was, it was 4th down and 1. Palmer got the snap, and ran for a first down, the game was still alive, still hope. Later on Palmer threw it to Chad Ochocinco, and it was incomplete which would have brought up 4th and long, but there was pass interference, so a new set of downs, the game was still alive. Palmer was back to pass, threw a bullet to Andre Caldwell, and it was caught for 6, wide open #87! The Bengals had the lead 17-14. On the final drive Flacco threw a hail mary, it was picked off by Leon Hall and that sealed the win, Bengals are now 4-1 and 1st place in the AFC North.
