WEEKLY NEWS RELEASE NOV. 12, 2013

CLEVELAND BROWNS (4-5) AT CINCINNATI BENGALS (6-4)

WEEK 11, GAME 11 SUNDAY, NOV. 17

AT PAUL BROWN STADIUM

UP NEXT: BENGALS WEEK 12 BYE

GAME NOTES Kickoff: 1 p.m. Eastern. Television: CBS broadcast with Marv Albert (play-by-play) and Rich Gannon (analyst). The game is a sellout and will be aired in the Bengals home market on WKRC-TV (Channel 12) in Cincinnati, WHIO-TV (Channel 7) in Dayton and WKYT-TV (Channel 27) in Lexington, Ky. Radio: Coverage on the Bengals Radio Network, led by a triple-cast on Cincinnati flagship stations WLW-AM (700), WCKY-AM (ESPN 1530; all sports) and WEBN-FM (102.7). Broadcasters are Dan Hoard (play-by-play) and Dave Lapham (analyst). Setting the scene: The facts say the Bengals have lost two straight. The team’s mentality, however, says this group is worlds away from assuming the character of a loser. Cincinnati is still one-and-a-half games on top in the AFC North Division as a visit from Cleveland looms this week at Paul Brown Stadium. The Browns and Baltimore Ravens are tied for second place. And the Bengals still feel every bit the part of a leader. They need to work on starting faster, to be sure, but each of their last two losses have seen the team mount impressive second-half comebacks on the road before falling in overtime. Though any loss is still a loss in the standings, the standings still look encouraging, and the real pressure is still on the teams chasing the Bengals. To review, Cincinnati overcame a 17-3 deficit on Oct. 31 at Miami before falling 22-20 in overtime, and last week at Baltimore, the club roared back from a 17-0 hole before going down 20-17 in the extra period. Asked after the Baltimore game if he worried about a possible loss of momentum, head coach Marvin Lewis said: “I don’t. The way we’ve fought these last two games, I don’t worry about that at all. We’ve earned the chance to right ourselves and still be in good control of the division, and now we just put our minds to the Cleveland Browns. The way we fight, nobody can take that away from us.” “We had a chance to build ourselves a nicer (division) lead,” said NT Domata Peko. “But we didn’t check out when things were going bad for us, and now it’s all about this next week and the Browns. We respect them. They’ve played well lately, they beat us the first time this year (17-6 at Cleveland), and they’ve had a week of rest (a Week 10 bye). But we still feel like nothing can stop us if we get our minds right and work hard on correcting some errors.” “Nothing is going to go sour mentally with this team,” said 11-year veteran safety Chris Crocker. “We just need to relax a little bit and move ahead.” As far as correcting errors, the Bengals can start by turning their attention to penalties. Though they nearly doubled Baltimore last week in total net yards — 364 to 189 — they drew nine penalties for a club-record 134 yards. The former record was 133 yards in 1978 vs. San Francisco. The Ravens were assessed only 65 yards in penalties, and in the first half, which ended with Baltimore ahead 17-0, it was 114-25 to Cincinnati’s deficit in penalty yards. An anomaly? Maybe. “It seemed a little one-sided at times,” said Lewis. “But we’ve got to coach them up better and they’ve got to play smarter. We’ve got to stop putting ourselves in a hole.” Otherwise, in one of the NFL’s tougher places to play, the numbers last week were mostly either pro-Cincinnati or neutral. Both teams had three turnovers. Both defenses largely stopped the offenses on third downs. Both quarterbacks were sacked five times. But the Bengals averaged 3.9 yards per

rush to the Ravens’ 2.8, and they were at 4.2 yards per offensive play to the Ravens’ 2.7. The Bengals did see fortune smile on them in one big way, as they tied the game on the last regulation play on a 51-yard Hail Mary pass that deflected to WR A.J. Green in the end zone. But chalk that up as nature’s counterweight to a bit of bad fortune with all those penalty yards. “We’re disappointed, but we’re still in a real good position,” said QB Andy Dalton. “We can’t let ourselves get down, and I know we won’t. There’s a lot of football left, and still a lot that we can control.” The series: This is the 81st staging of the “Battle of Ohio.” The Bengals lead the series 42-38, but the Browns have won two straight after dropping the previous four and seven of the previous eight. Home field advantage has been a factor in series history, as the Bengals lead 26-14 as the home team while training 24-16 at Cleveland. The Browns won this year’s first meeting, 17-6 on Sept. 29 at Cleveland. The Bengals have won 13 of the last 18 meetings and lead 14-7 in games during the tenure of Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis, including 8-2 at home. At 80 meetings entering this week’s game, the Browns are the second-most frequently played Bengals opponent. Pittsburgh (87) is first on that list. The Tennessee Titans/Houston Oilers are third at 73. The Bengals are Cleveland’s second-most frequently played foe. The Browns have 122 all-time games against Pittsburgh. More series notes: ● The Bengals’ longest win streak over the Browns has been five games, posted from Game 2 of 2004 through Game 2 of ’06. ● The Browns’ longest win streak over Cincinnati has been seven games, extending from Game 2 of the 1992 season through Game 2 of ’95. ● Since the Browns’ rebirth in 1999, the Bengals lead 18-11. ● The biggest lead in series history has been six games. The Bengals owned it at 42-36 before losing the last two. ● The Browns’ biggest series lead has been five games, at 6-1 in 1973.

T-23rd (minus-4) T-17th (minus-1) More Bengals-Browns facts: The first-ever Bengals-Browns meeting of any kind was Aug. 29, 1970. On that Saturday, the Browns were visitors for the second preseason game of Riverfront Stadium’s debut year. The Bengals won 31-24, moving to 2-0 in preseason in their new home. Also: ● The Bengals were 17-10 against the Browns at Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field. ● The Browns were 17-8 against the Bengals at the old Cleveland Stadium. ● The Bengals and Browns never played at Nippert Stadium, as Nippert was the Bengals’ American Football League home. ● The Bengals have posted 10 season sweeps, and the Browns have posted eight. The teams have split 21 times. In 1982, they played only once, with the scheduled contest at Cleveland cancelled due to a players’ strike. ● The first Bengals-Browns regular-season game at Cincinnati — on Nov. 15, 1970 — drew the first home crowd of 60,000 in Bengals history (60,007 at Riverfront Stadium). The Bengals won 14-10 behind a 110-yard rushing effort from QB Virgil Carter, the only 100-yard rushing game by a QB in Bengals history. ● The largest Bengals home crowd for a Browns game has been 66,072, on Sept. 17, 2006 at Paul Brown Stadium. That ranks as the fifth-largest crowd in Bengals history. ● The Browns drew the largest Bengals crowd in the Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field era — 60,284 for a 27-24 Browns win on Oct. 17, 1971. ● The first Bengals-Browns regular-season game was a 30-27 Browns win at Cleveland on Oct. 11, 1970, and the attendance of 83,520 stood for some 34 years as the largest ever to see a Bengals regular-season game. It was not eclipsed until 2004, when 87,786 saw the Bengals win at Washington. ● The Bengals and Browns met three times in preseason at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, from 1972-74. All were Sunday afternoon games, and the Browns won two of the three. Chudzinski breaks a streak: When the Browns defeated the Bengals earlier this season, head coach Rob Chudzinski became the first of the last six Browns head coaches to win his first game in the Battle of Ohio. Browns coaches are now 5-9 when facing the Bengals the first time. The winners have been Blanton Collier (1970), Nick Skorich (‘71), Sam Rutigliano (‘78) and Bill Belichick (‘91). On the losing end have been Forrest Gregg (1975), Marty Schottenheimer (‘84), Bud Carson (‘89), Jim Shofner (‘90), Chris Palmer (‘99), Butch Davis (2001), Romeo Crennel (‘05), Eric Mangini (‘09) and Pat Shurmur (‘11). Bengals coaches show a 7-2 record the first time out against Cleveland. The last five have won. The winners have been Bill Johnson (1976), Homer Rice (‘78), Sam Wyche (‘84), Dave Shula (‘92), Bruce Coslet (‘99), Dick LeBeau (2000) and Marvin Lewis (‘03). Losing in the first try vs. Cleveland were Paul Brown (1970) and Forrest Gregg (‘80). More on coaches in Battle of Ohio: Marvin Lewis is 14-7 overall against Cleveland, for the most total wins and best winning percentage (.667) of any Bengals head coach in the series. Lewis also has coached the most total games (21) against Cleveland. Sam Wyche is in second place in all three categories, with 10 wins, a .625 winning percentage (10-6) and 16 total games.

Bill Belichick has been the top Browns coach in the series, having posted an 8-2 mark against the Bengals during his 1991-95 tenure. Lewis is the only Bengals head coach whose first Cincinnati victory came against Cleveland. Lewis took over as head coach in 2003, and his first win was a 21-14 decision at Cleveland on Sept. 28 of that year. The Bengals entered that game at 0-3, but went on to finish 8-8. The six-game improvement, after a 2-14 season in 2002, was the largest in the NFL for ’03, and Lewis finished second to Bill Belichick of Super Bowl champion New England in voting for the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year award. Forrest Gregg is the only head coach to pilot both teams in the Battle of Ohio. Gregg was 1-5 as Browns coach against the Bengals from 1975-77, and he was 3-4 as Bengals coach against the Browns from ’80-83. Here’s a full roundup of Bengals’ head coaches, in chronological order, and their records in the Battle of Ohio: Paul Brown (5-7), Bill “Tiger” Johnson (3-2), Homer Rice (2-1), Forrest Gregg (3-4), Sam Wyche (10-6), Dave Shula (1-7), Bruce Coslet (2-1), Dick LeBeau (2-3), Marvin Lewis (14-7). What if they go OT? The Bengals have played two consecutive overtime games for the first time in franchise history, and were they to go into an extra period this week against the Browns, it would be the first time an NFL team had played three straight. Overtime was instituted in the NFL in 1974. The Bengals have played three overtime games this season, a franchise record. Prior to their losses last week at Baltimore and on Oct. 31 at Miami, they won in OT on Oct. 20 at Detroit. The NFL record for overtime games in a season is five, by Green Bay in 1983. The Bengals and Browns have played four overtime games among the 80 in their series history, splitting 2-2. The most recent was a 23-20 Bengals win at Cleveland in 2009. The Bengals are 16-13-1 all-time in overtime. The Browns are 16-17-1. Records vs. Browns: The two highest-scoring games in Bengals history have each been against the Browns, both coming during Marvin Lewis’ tenure as head coach. On Nov. 28, 2004 at Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals won 58-48, and the 106 total points is not only a Bengals record, it is the second-most in NFL history, behind only 113 from Washington’s 72-41 win over the N.Y. Giants in 1966. And on Sept. 16, 2007, the Bengals and Browns combined for 96 points at Cleveland in a 51-45 Browns win. More on Bengals records against the Browns: ● The 58-48 Bengals win on Nov. 28, 2004 stands as the only game in club history for Cincinnati to score in double figures in all four quarters (14-13-14-17 — 58). ● WR A.J. Green’s 41-yard TD reception put the Bengals ahead to stay in the fourth quarter of the 2011 season opener at Cleveland, and it has been certified as the longest game-winning catch in NFL history by a rookie playing in his team’s first game of the year. The previous long in this category was only 22 yards, and it had stood for more than 85 years, set by Cobb Rooney of the Duluth Kelleys in 1924. ● In the final Bengals game at Cinergy Field, on Dec. 12, 1999, Cincinnati limited the Browns to the fewest rushing yards ever by an opponent. Cleveland had only 11 net yards on 11 attempts. ● On Dec. 21, 1980 vs. Cleveland, DE Eddie Edwards set the Bengals record for sacks in a game with five. The mark stood unchallenged for 19 years, until DE Antwan Odom tied it on Sept. 20, 2009 at Green Bay. ● On Nov. 25, 2001 at Cleveland, T.J. Houshmandzadeh set the Bengals record for punt return yards in a game with 126. His 86-yarder in that game ranks tied for third-longest in club history. ● The Bengals’ 23-20 overtime victory at Cleveland on Oct. 4, 2009 stands as the longest Bengals game not to end in a tie. Only four seconds remained in the overtime period when K Shayne Graham booted a 31-yard field goal to break a 20-all tie. Elapsed scoreboard clock time for the game was 74:56. The only 75-minute game in Bengals history was a 13-13 tie against Philadelphia in 2008. Individually vs. Browns: Current Bengals’ career performances while playing for Cincinnati against the Browns include: ● QB Andy Dalton: Five games; 109-for-165 passing (66.1 percent) for 1256 yards (251.2 per game) with eight TDs and five INTs (passer rating of 92.4). On Oct. 14 of last season at Cleveland, Dalton posted a career-high 381 passing yards. ● HB BenJarvus Green-Ellis: Three games; 45 rushes for 150 yards (3.3); Four receptions for 38 yards (9.5). ● HB Giovani Bernard: One game; 10 rushes for 37 yards (3.7); Six receptions for 38 yards (6.3). ● HB Cedric Peerman: Four games; Two rushes for eight yards (4.0); Eight

THE HEAD COACHES Marvin Lewis in 2013 extends his Bengals record for head coaching tenure to 11 seasons. He has led the team to the postseason in three of the last four seasons, making the Bengals one of only seven teams to make three or more playoff trips in that span. Lewis has 85 career victories, 21 more than any other Bengals head coach (Sam Wyche ranks second at 64). The Bengals went 10-6 in the regular season in 2012, tying eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore for best record in the AFC North. Cincinnati was a Wild Card playoff entry for the second straight year, rocketing into the playoffs with a 7-1 record in the season’s second half. The resilient outfit stands as one of only nine of 131 teams since 1990 to rise to the playoffs after a 3-5 start. Lewis was the consensus choice as NFL Coach of the Year in 2009, when the Bengals won the AFC North title while sweeping all six division games. Lewis also led Cincinnati to an AFC North title in 2005. Lewis’ record is 85-84-1 in regular season, and 85-88-1 including postseason. Lewis has risen to second in the NFL for longest current head coaching tenure with one team, trailing only New England’s Bill Belichick, who is in his 14th Patriots season in 2013. In the category of most seasons as head coach with any team, Lewis in ’13 ranks seventh among active coaches. Lewis was named the ninth head coach in Bengals history on Jan. 14, 2003. In 2002, he directed the NFL’s fifth-ranked defense with Washington, serving as assistant head coach in addition to his role as defensive coordinator. Prior to his year with the Redskins, he was a record-setting defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. His six seasons (1996-2001) with the Ravens included a Super Bowl victory following the ’00 season. In the ’00 regular season, Lewis’ Baltimore defense set the NFL record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game campaign (165), and the ’00 Ravens are always included in discussions of the best single-season NFL defenses of all time.

Lewis entered the NFL as linebackers coach with Pittsburgh from 1993-95, guiding the careers of Pro Bowl selections Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland and Greg Lloyd. Born Sept. 23, 1958, in McDonald, Pa., near Pittsburgh, Lewis played linebacker at Idaho State and earned All-Big Sky Conference honors in each of his three seasons (‘78-80). He began his coaching career as an assistant at Idaho State University in 1981. Cleveland’s Rob Chudzinski is in his first season as an NFL head coach. He was offensive coordinator at Carolina in 2011-12, and he has re-joined the Browns organization, where he spent ’04 as tight ends coach and ’07-08 as offensive coordinator. With the Panthers in 2011, Chudzinski tutored QB Cam Newton, who became the first NFL rookie to pass for 4000 yards. The ’11 Panthers also became the first NFL team to have three rushers top the 700 yard mark — DeAngelo Williams (836), Jonathan Stewart (761) and Newton (706). Prior to joining Carolina, Chudzinski had two stints with the San Diego Chargers (2005-06 and 2009-10). He coached at the University of Miami from 1994-2003, and in his three seasons as offensive coordinator (2001-03), the Hurricanes played in a BCS bowl each year, including two national championship appearances. Chudzinski’s hometown is Toledo, Ohio. He played TE at the University of Miami from 1986-90, where he was a three-year starter and played on two national championship teams (1987 and 1989). Lewis vs. Browns: Lewis leads, 14-7. Lewis vs. Chudzinski: Chudzinski leads, 1-0. Chudzinski vs. Bengals: Chudzinski leads, 1-0.

BENGALS NOTES Still some cushion: Though the Bengals have lost their last two games, they have lost only one game of their AFC North Division lead in the process. They enter Week 11 play with a game-and-half lead over both Cleveland and Baltimore. Pittsburgh is now two-and-one-half games back, in fourth place Here’s a look at the 2013 division race, and the teams’ schedules the next two weeks:

TEAM W-L DIVISION NEXT TWO WEEKS Cincinnati .................. 6-4 ................. 1-2 .................................. vs. Cleveland; BYE Cleveland .................. 4-5 ................. 2-1 ..................... at Cincinnati; vs. Pittsburgh Baltimore ................... 4-5 ................. 2-2 ......................... at Chicago; vs. N.Y. Jets Pittsburgh .................. 3-6 ................. 1-1 .......................... vs. Detroit; at Cleveland Defense matching 30-year highs: For the sixth straight week, the Bengals rank in the NFL’s top 10 in net defense, and this week, they have a single-digit ranking in both rushing defense and passing defense as well. Cincinnati is fourth in total yards allowed per game at 311.4, ninth against the rush (102.0) and seventh against the pass (209.4). If held to season’s end, the No. 4 overall ranking would tie the team’s best performance in 30 years. The last Bengals club to rank higher was the 1983 team, which led the league at 270.4 yards per game. The only team since then to match a No. 4 ranking was Zimmer’s 2009 defense, which helped the Bengals win the AFC North championship with a yield of 301.4. Zimmer’s ’09 unit is also the only Bengals outfit since 1983 to have a single-digit ranking against both the rush and the pass, as well as total. The ’09 club ranked seventh against the rush and sixth against the pass. The 1983 defense, under head coach Forrest Gregg and coordinator Hank Bullough, is the only Bengals unit to lead the league in net defense. To get to first place this season, the Bengals will have to pass Houston (280.0), Carolina (283.3) and Seattle (289.0). The Bengals this week are also in the NFL’s top 10 in scoring defense for the sixth straight week. They rank sixth, with 18.4 points allowed per game. Defense survives absence of three starters: Though the Bengals lost last week at Baltimore, the defense did a good job holding the Ravens in check in its first game without three key starters — DT Geno Atkins, CB Leon Hall and MLB Rey Maualuga. The Ravens managed only 189 yards in the overtime game, converted only three of 16 third downs and averaged only 2.8 yards per rush. The Bengals logged five sacks, tying their season high. Cincinnati was playing for the first time this season without Atkins, the All-Pro performer who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Oct. 31 at Miami. The Bengals have played the last three games without Hall, who was lost for the year with an Achilles tear on Oct. 20 at Detroit. Maualuga, the defense’s No. 2 tackler on the year, has missed the last two games with a knee injury. Though he’s not done for the season, his status for the Cleveland game is uncertain. “It’s a challenge, it’s an opportunity,” Zimmer said of dealing with the injuries. “We have other good players in the locker room, and we we pride ourselves on playing good team defense. I can’t reiterate that enough. That’s what we do, that’s what we’ve always done, and hopefully we’ll continue to do that.” Regarding Atkins, Zimmer said: “Geno didn’t play every snap, so we had other guys playing at DT anyway. It’s not like we were lousy all those other times. We’re not going to go cry and climb into a hole if we don’t have this guy and don’t have that guy. We’re going to do the best job we can.” On the line, second-year pro Brandon Thompson of Clemson has taken over Atkins’ starting spot. A rugged 325-pounder, Thompson replaced Atkins at Miami and finished the game as the line leader in tackles (seven). At Baltimore last week, he again had seven tackles, tying for the line lead. The Bengals have another promising second-year DT in Devon Still of Penn State, but Still suffered an elbow injury on Oct. 20 at Detroit and was inactive for the last three games. He’s expected back, but his status for Cleveland is uncertain as Week 11 work begins. The defensive line also has played most of this season without a key contributor in DE Robert Geathers, who went out with an elbow injury in Game 2. The secondary has adjusted with veteran Adam Jones taking over Hall’s RCB position, while younger CBs such as Dre Kirkpatrick and Brandon Ghee have been pressed into more service. Also, veteran S Chris Crocker has seen time as a nickel DB. Third-year pro Vincent Rey has filled in at MLB for Maualuga, and last week Rey had a game unique in Bengals history. More on that in the next item.

Rey scores a first: It took 702 all-time regular-season games, but finally a Bengal has logged as many as three sacks, plus an interception, in the same game. Third-year pro Vincent Rey, subbing for injured Rey Maualuga at MLB, did it last week at Baltimore. In the second quarter, at the Cincinnati 31-yard line, Rey corralled a Joe Flacco pass deflected by DE Michael Johnson and returned four yards to the 35. Later in the quarter, he had sacks against Flacco of one and 11 yards. And in the third quarter, he dropped Flacco for seven yards. All three sacks led directly to Baltimore punts, the first and third of them coming on third-down plays. For the game, Rey had 13 tackles on defense and two on special teams. “I was just doing what we practiced this week,” said Rey, who entered the NFL as a college free agent with the Bengals in 2011. “All credit goes to Coach Zimmer (defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer) and Coach Guenther (linebackers coach Paul Guenther). I was just doing what I was coached to do. Their job is to tell me what to do. My job is to do it and do it as hard and smart as possible.” The last time before last week that an NFL player had three sacks and an INT in the same game, it was for the Browns against the Bengals. On Sept. 16 of last season at Paul Brown Stadium, LB D’Qwell Jackson sacked Andy Dalton three times and picked off one of his passes. Like Rey last week in Baltimore, however, Jackson, pulled off his feat in a losing cause. The Bengals won that game, 34-27. Rey entered the Baltimore game with only two career starts, one sack and no interceptions. But it wasn’t his first big effort this season. Starting in place of Maualuga the previous week at Miami, he led the team in tackles (10). The last Bengal before Rey to get three sacks in a game was Michael Johnson, who had three-for-17 on Sept. 23 of last season in a win at Washington. It was part of a performance that led to Johnson being named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. A.J. sets two club marks at Baltimore: WR A.J. Green’s 151-yard receiving day at Baltimore marked his sixth 100-yard game of the season and his fifth in a row. Both performances are Bengals records. Green totaled eight catches against the Ravens. In the franchise’s 45 seasons prior to 2013, the record of five total 100-yard receiving games in a season had been set nine times. In addition to Green, who did it twice (including this year), it had been accomplished by Chad Johnson (three times), Carl Pickens (twice), Eddie Brown (once) and Tim McGee (once). Now, Green has six games remaining, presuming he stays healthy, to set the bar even higher. As far as consecutive 100-yard receiving games, Green’s move to five last week broke a two-way record-book tie with Pickens, who had posted four in a row in 1994. This week against the Browns, Green will go for six in a row. He was held to 51 yards, on seven catches, in Cincinnati’s loss at Cleveland on Sept. 29 of this season. But in five career games against the Browns, Green has a pair of 100-yarders, a three-for-110 game vs. Cleveland in 2011 and a seven-for-135 at Cleveland in ’12. Speaking to the streaky nature of sports, before embarking on his current streak of five 100-yarders, Green had averaged only 49.8 yards over four games (Games 2-5). It was the first four-game stretch of Green’s career in which he had not posted any games of at least 70 yards. In 41 career NFL games, Green has 15 of 100-plus receiving yards. That’s an average of one every 2.7 games. Here’s a look at Green’s 100-yard efforts in 2013:

DATE OPPONENT REC. YDS. TDs Sept. 8 @Chicago ........................................................... 9 162 2 Oct. 13 @Buffalo ............................................................. 6 103 1 Oct. 20 @Detroit .............................................................. 6 155 1 Oct. 27 N.Y.

Green would need three more to tie the NFL record of eight. Detroit’s Calvin Johnson set that mark last year, hitting triple figures in Games 8 through 15. With six 100-yard games on the season, Green would need five more in the final six games to tie the NFL record of 11. Johnson last year became the second player to hit that mark, tying a Michael Irvin performance for Dallas in 1995.

(Bengals notes, continued)

A.J. leads in yards, any way you figure it: Bengals WR A.J. Green leads the NFL in receiving yards (1013) for the second straight week. But unlike last week, it’s not related in part to the Bengals having played more games than many teams, due to their late bye. Though the Bengals are one of only four teams to have played 10 games — their Week 12 bye is the last of the season for byes — Green leads the NFL not only in total yards, but in yards per team game. He’s averaging 101.3 yards per contest. Detroit’s Calvin Johnson is in second place in both total yards (904) and average yards (100.4 over nine games). A hair back in third place in total yards is Philadelphia’s DeSean Jackson, at 903. But the Eagles have played 10 games, and third place in yards per game belongs to Houston’s Andre Johnson at 94.4 (850 yards in nine games). Last week, Green led the league in total yards but was third behind Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson in yards per game. Green had 151 yards at Baltimore last week, while Calvin Johnson was held to 83 yards at Chicago and Andre Johnson had just 37 yards at Arizona. Only once has a Bengal led the NFL in receiving yards for a full season. That was in 2006, when Chad Johnson’s 1369 yards nosed out Indianapolis’ Marvin Harrison by three for the league crown. The Bengals count six AFC receiving yards titles in their history. Four of those were by Chad Johnson, most recently his 1369 in ’06. In total receptions, Green has 65, second in the NFL behind Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown (67). In receptions per game, Green ranks fifth at 6.5, behind Brown (7.4), Andre Johnson (6.9), Washington’s Pierre Garcon (6.8) and Chicago’s Brandon Marshall (6.7). No Bengal has won an outright NFL receptions title. The team’s highest finish has been tied for first, in 2007, when T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught a Bengals-record 112 to tie New England’s Wes Welker for the crown. Green on record yards pace: No Bengal has reached the 1500-yard plateau in receiving yards for a season, but with 1013 yards in 10 games, A.J. Green is on pace to get not only 1500 over 16 games, but 1621. The team record is 1440 yards, set by Chad Johnson in 2007. Green is averaging 101.3 receiving yards per game. Were he to average just 71.3 yards over the final six games, he would set a club season record at the minimum number of 1441. To become the first Bengal to hit the round number of 1500, Green needs to average at least 81.2 yards over the final six games. Green’s 65 receptions this season, which include a career game-high of 11 on Oct. 31 at Miami, project to 104 over 16 games. That would be a career-high, topping his 97 from last season, and it would rank second in club history, behind T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s 112 in 2007. The No. 2 Bengals total currently is 100, posted by Carl Pickens in 1996. Another benchmark for A.J.: Last season, Bengals WR A.J. Green became the only player in NFL history to reach the triple benchmark of 100 receptions, 1500 yards and 10 TDs in the first 20 games of his career. He hit the 20-game mark after Game 5 of last season, with 101 catches, 1550 yards and 11 TDs. This season, Green has come to share a triple benchmark with a Hall of Famer, Tom Fears of the 1948-56 Los Angeles Rams. Green played his 38th game on Oct. 20 at Detroit, and he emerged having passed the round numbers of 200 receptions, 3000 yards and 20 TDs. His totals at that point were 205 catches, 3026 yards and 23 TDs. Fears is the only other player to hit the 200-3000-20 standard through 38 games. His 38-game totals were 224 receptions, 3034 yards and 20 TDs. Three could go double figures in TDs: The Bengals have quite a race going for the team lead in touchdowns — HB Giovani Bernard and WR Marvin Jones each have seven, while WR A.J. Green has six — and their paces for 16 games would give the Bengals three players in double figures in TDs for the first time in franchise history. By strict arithmetic, Bernard and Jones are on pace for 11.2 TDs. Green is on pace for 9.6, which rounds up to 10. Only twice in 45 previous seasons have the Bengals had even two players in double figures in TDs. In 1988, FB Ickey Woods had 15 and HB James Brooks had 14. In 1985, Brooks had 12 and FB Larry Kinnebrew had 10. The long arm(s) of Carlos: Fourth-year Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap is a playmaker, pure and simple. The 6-6, 280-pounder shows it almost weekly, including last week at Baltimore. He had two sacks of Joe Flacco for 17 yards, and the second one

caused a fourth-quarter fumble that teammate James Harrison recovered at midfield, preserving a chance that Cincinnati later cashed for a tying TD that sent the game into overtime. Dunlap tied for the line lead in total tackles (seven), and he had a QB pressure that helped lead to an interception against Flacco by LB Vincent Rey in the second quarter. Dunlap is now tied for the team lead in sacks (6.0), and the player he’s tied with, DT Geno Atkins, is out for the season with a knee injury. Dunlap has four of the team’s eight forced fumbles. He’s the only player with more than one. He has no fumble recoveries this year, but in the combined category of fumbles forced and recovered, his four leads the team by one over CB Adam Jones (three). Last season, Dunlap had seven fumbles forced and/or recovered, leading the team by three. Also this season, Dunlap leads the line in tackles (44), and he has four passes defensed. On Oct. 31 at Miami, Dunlap had a particularly impressive forced fumble, running down fleet Dolphins RB Lamar Miller at the Bengals 11 after a 41-yard gain. Dunlap not only stopped Miller, he used a swipe of his long right arm to separate Miller from the ball. The force from the blow was such at the ball shot into the end zone, where CB Adam Jones picked it up on a bounce and made a 43-yard return. “It was a tremendous effort play by Carlos,” said head coach Marvin Lewis. “He didn’t give up on the play, he used the speed he’s got, and he definitely has the knack for getting to the ball.” Dunlap retains the overall athletic ability and speed that led his high school coaches in North Charleston, S.C. to use him occasionally as a kickoff returner, as a 240-pound defensive end. He had a 95-yard return for a TD in high school. Don’t forget the special teams: In addition to his many defensive exploits this season (see previous item), Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap has two blocked field goal attempts. He’s the first Bengal with two blocked kicks of any kind since 1991, when CB Eric Thomas blocked three (all field goals). Dunlap’s first one came on Sept. 29 against the Browns, when he tipped a 51-yard try by Billy Cundiff. His second, on Oct. 20 at Detroit, was a key momentum-turner in an eventual Bengals win. With the Lions ahead 10-7 in the second quarter, he cleanly blocked a 34-yard David Akers attempt. The Bengals returned the ball to the Lions 40, and drove from there for a TD and a 14-10 lead. More on Carlos: The Bengals showed their faith in DE Carlos Dunlap (featured in previous items) on July 16, when they signed him to a five-year contract extension through 2018. As his play this season has shown, Dunlap says that the deal has not left him complacent, that he wants both more honors on the field and another big contract later in his career. “Yeah, I want more in both respects,” Dunlap said. “Like a dog when he tastes blood, he wants more and more. Or a vampire, he wants more and more. There’s no hiding that, I want more. They gave me a little taste, and now I know what it’s like, and I know what it takes to get more.” Burfict back in double figures: WLB Vontaze Burfict led the team with 15 tackles at Baltimore, and he tied the team high in solo tackles (13) that he had set earlier this season at Detroit. Burfict had only seven tackles the previous game, at Miami, but that was the only one in what is now the last 16 contests for him to not to log a double-figures total. This season, Burfict has led the team in tackles in seven games, tied for the lead once, finished second once and tied for second once. His 128 tackles for the season lead the team by 51 over second-place Rey Maualuga (77). Burfict also leads the front seven in passes defensed (six) and he has one sack, one interception and one fumble recovery. Burfict a teammate’s teammate: Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict has been racking up more than just tackles lately. “Tacklin’ Tez” has also been collecting praise from teammates — for being a great teammate. “His demeanor is something that’s contagious,” says S Taylor Mays. “It makes you want to play that style of football. You don’t want to let a guy like that down.” “He’s the real deal,” says Maualuga. “It’s always about competition. Who is going to get to the ball first? Being able to play alongside him with that fire, that energy that he wants to get to the ball first, that makes everything that much easier for me. Flat out, he’s what you want in a linebacker. One, he’s mean. Two, he can walk the walk and talk the talk. He’s not mean to us, he’s mean to the opponents. He’s a great teammate.” Occasionally Burfict can play with a bit too much fire and be penalty prone. It’s something his coaches try to keep toned down, but they don’t want to inhibit his playing style.

(Burfict a teammate’s teammate, continued)

“He’s a good kid; he’s the kind of football player you like,” says defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. “He’s got a little edge to him, but he’s a smart guy, too. He just has to be smart and not do stupid things. He’s a smart guy, and he just needs to play football.” As a rookie last season, the once nationally touted Arizona State star defied the judgment of NFL teams who had passed him over in the draft, due to judgments that he was too undisciplined and out of shape. After signing with the Bengals as a college free agent, he was handed an opening due to an early injury to starter Thomas Howard, and he went on to lead the team in tackles (174), logging the most starts (14) in Bengals history by a CFA in his rookie season. More on Burfict: Though LB Vontaze Burfict is proving to be a tackles machine for the second straight year (see previous item), this year that’s not enough. “There’s more weighing on me now,” Burfict says. “I feel like I need to make more plays than I did last year because I’m not a rookie anymore. Plays that I missed last year, I need to improve, particularly in coverage and blitzing.” But there’s more than just self-improvement at work. Head coach Marvin Lewis, who marvels at Burfict’s natural football instincts as well as at his ability, has given Burfict a major role in making calls for the defense. “I set the huddle and tell them the huddle call, and Rey (MLB Rey Maualuga) sets the front,” Burfict says. “It’s a team game. Me and Rey take full responsibility to whatever happens out there and the communication. I have to tell the safeties, the corner, the d-line what the play is.” Burfict is also a mentor of sorts this season. The Bengals had another CFA make the team this year at LB — Jayson DiManche of Southern Illinois. “It was great to be able to tell him ‘congratulations,’ “ Burfict says. “I watched on ‘Hard Knocks,’ when they had the camera with him and he got the call that he’d made the team. I was almost going to cry for him. Because I was in the same boat. When I got the call, I cried, but there weren’t any cameras around. If there were cameras around, I wouldn’t have cried.” Dalton battles even as numbers go down: The last two weeks, Bengals QB Andy Dalton has gotten some tough lessons on the fleeting quality of personal fame. But there is no doubt inside the walls at Paul Brown Stadium that the third-year pro will weather it and continue growing. On Halloween morning, Dalton was named by the NFL as AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. He had posted a 116.8 passer rating while leading the Bengals to four straight victories, and the day’s cable sports programming was filled with analysts singing Dalton’s praises. But in the last two games, both overtime losses, Dalton has dipped to his two lowest passer ratings of the season — 55.4 at Miami and 52.2 at Baltimore. He has thrown for only two TDs against six INTs in the two losses, after getting 11 TDs and just three picks in the four previous games. But despite the bad numbers, Dalton has still shown the stuff that has made him the winningest QB in Bengals history (more detail on that in item on page 7). At Miami, he led the offense on drives of 80 and 70 yards for TDs that tied the score in regulation from a 17-3 deficit. At Baltimore, he again helped bring the Bengals back from down 17-3, directing fourth-quarter drives of 71 and 60 yards. He ended both Baltimore drives with TD passes, and though the second was tinged with good fortune — a 51-yard Hail Mary deflected to A.J. Green on regulation’s last play — it was Dalton’s sometimes-criticized right arm that heaved the ball the roughly 60 yards into a swirling wind that were necessary to give fortune a chance to smile. “We know Andy is unflappable,” says head coach Marvin Lewis. “He continues to show that week in and week out. He really settles and plays. He may have a play that he’d want back, but he lets it go. He moves on to the next one, and that’s it. He understands it’s one play at a time. He has great personality and makeup that way. There is nothing that happens out there that he can’t handle. He’s a great leader.” Says WR A.J. Green: “Andy doesn’t let anything get to him. He’s got ice in his veins. We don’t say anything to him when something goes bad, because we know he’s going from there and making the next play.” WR Marvin Jones, who had a Bengals-record four TD receptions from Dalton on Oct. 27 vs. the Jets, has noted that Dalton is spending more time at the stadium this season, outside of normal meeting and practice hours. “That’s something I feel is really big,” Jones said. “Sometimes, on Thursdays, Saturdays ... and on Fridays we have extra meetings, just with us — the quarterbacks, receivers, running backs and tight ends. It’s just having that

extra time to see the game through each other’s eyes and be really confident and comfortable in what the plan is and what we have to do. That’s something that Andy’s been doing a good job of, getting us all in and all ready to go.” Don’t forget the feet: A common mistake in casual NFL lingo is the term “quarterback rating.” The widely cited rating system employed by the NFL is actually a “passer rating,” based strictly on throwing the ball. The only ingredients are attempts, completions, yards, TD passes and interceptions. And though passing is paramount in assessing quarterbacks, it’s not the entire package. The rating does not factor elements such as leadership, smart play-calling or rushing. Thus, it’s worthwhile to note that while Andy Dalton struggled to a season-low 52.2 passer rating last week, he did have three successful rushing plays. In the third quarter, on Cincinnati’s first scoring drive, Dalton made a two-yard gain on a fourth-down-and-one sneak from the Ravens 26. Early in the fourth quarter, on the first Cincinnati TD drive, he made a heady seven-yard dash to the Ravens 18 with a shotgun snap on fourth-and-two. And later in the fourth quarter, after trying to pass, he scrambled for 12 yards on a third-and-10 from the 50. Dalton now fifth in AFC: With a season-low passer rating of 52.2 at Baltimore, Bengals QB Andy Dalton dipped to fifth place in the AFC in season rating, at 86.7. He had been in third place for each of the two previous weeks. In the NFL rankings, Dalton slipped from ninth place to 14th. Dalton ranks second in the AFC in completions (239) and passing yards (2861). He’s tied for second in the conference in TD passes (18). Marks for Dalton: Bengals QB Andy Dalton fell a bit short last week of a fifth straight 300-yard passing game, finishing at 274, but entering the game he had already set a Bengals record with four straight. The previous record of three had been posted only once, by Ken Anderson in Games 1-3 of 1984. Dalton’s totals for his record streak were 337 at Buffalo on Oct. 13, 372 at Detroit on Oct. 20, 325 vs. the New York Jets on Oct. 27 and 338 at Miami on Oct. 31. Also this season, Dalton has become the first Bengal to throw 11 TD passes over a span of three games. He did it with three on at Buffalo, three at Detroit and a career-high five vs. the Jets. No other Bengal has had more than nine TD passes in three games. Nine has been achieved many times, including by Dalton in Games 9-11 of last season. The last Bengal besides Dalton to hit nine was Carson Palmer in Games 1-3 of 2007. In Game 2 of Palmer’s 2007 stretch, he threw six TD passes at Cleveland, the team record for one game. Record paces for Dalton: With 2861 passing yards through 10 games, Andy Dalton is on pace to set Bengals a season record by a wide margin. His 16-game projection is 4578 yards, 447 more than the club record of 4131, set by Carson Palmer in 2007. Dalton has averaged 286.1 passing yards per game. He could average as little as 211.8 over the final six games and still set the team record, as a 211.8 pace would bring him to 4132 yards on the season. Dalton is also on pace for a club record 382 completions. The record is 373, by Palmer in 2007. Radar in the red zone: Bengals QB Andy Dalton threw one TD pass from a snap in the red zone last week, connecting with HB Giovani Bernard for an 18-yard score. He had no red-zone INTs, and for the second straight week he ranks third among active NFL passers in ratio of red-zone TDs to INTs (minimum of 25 red-zone TDs). Dalton has 46 career TDs on snaps taken inside the opponent 20-yard line, and just two INTs. The leader in the category is Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay, and Russell Wilson of Seattle is second. “Andy’s performance in this area is the type of thing we’ve come to expect from him,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “He’s not only a fine talent, but a smart player who is going to avoid the big mistake. We’ve got a lot of confidence in Andy when we get the ball into scoring range.” Here are the active top five in the category of TDs to INTs on red-zone plays (minimum 25 TDs):

PLAYER, CURRENT TEAM TD INT RATIO Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay .......................................... 119 3 39.7-to-1 Russell Wilson, Seattle ................................................... 29 1 29.0-to-1 Andy Dalton, Cincinnati .................................................. 46 2 23.0-to-1 Tom Brady, New England ............................................. 241 12 20.1-to-1 Matt Cassel, Minnesota .................................................. 58 3 19.3-to-1

(Bengals notes, continued)

Let’s talk wins: Bengals QB Andy Dalton has a .595 career winning percentage as Cincinnati’s starter, with a 25-17 record. His win percentage is the best in franchise history for any QB with 10 more starts. Ken Anderson stands second at .529 (91-81). The only Bengals QB to post a better win percentage than .595 had only seven starts to his credit. That was Turk Schonert, who in eight seasons between 1980 and 1989 went 5-2 for a .714 percentage. Third time would be a rare charm: If Andy Dalton can lead the Bengals back to the playoffs in 2013 — and he presently has them in a two-game lead in the AFC North — he’ll become only the fifth starting QB in NFL history to reach the playoffs in each of his first three seasons. To date, the only starting QBs to achieve the feat have been Pat Haden of the Rams (1976-78), Dan Marino of the Dolphins (1983-85), Bernie Kosar of the Browns (1985-87) and Joe Flacco of the Ravens (2008-10). In Haden’s case, the three seasons were not his first three seasons as a pro, because he played in the World Football League prior to joining the Rams. More on Dalton and history: While shooting to become only the fifth starting QB to take his club to the playoffs in his first three seasons (see information in the previous item), Andy Dalton already has some brushes with history on record: In 2011, he became the first NFL rookie QB to start as many as eight wins and throw for 20 or more TDs (started nine wins and had 20 TDs). Also in 2011, he became the first rookie QB not drafted in the first round to start every game in a 16-game season. He is one of just three QBs to throw 43 or more TD passes in his first two seasons. The No. 1 spot is held by Hall of Famer Dan Marino (68). No. 2 is future Hall of Fame Peyton Manning (52), and Dalton is third (47). In fourth place behind Dalton is Jeff Garcia at 42. Marv, Mo and Hawk: Entering the Cleveland game, second-year pro Marvin Jones likely retains the edge as the Bengals’ most effective WR to complement franchise flagship A.J. Green. But Jones was held to just one catch for two yards at Baltimore last week, and the second-year pro still faces healthy competition for the No. 2 spot from fellow sophomore Mohamed Sanu and third-year pro Andrew Hawkins. Sanu has been the WR in the starting lineup along with Green for all 10 games this season, but Jones shot into the spotlight on Oct. 27 against the New York Jets, when he became the first Bengal with four TD catches in a game and the first NFL player on any team with four since 2007. He totaled eight catches for 122 yards and was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. For the season, Jones is tied with rookie HB Giovani Bernard for the team lead in touchdowns, with seven. (Green is just one back in third place, with six). Jones’ 437 receiving yards are second behind Green. “Marvin has a lot of ability and great speed,” says head coach Marvin Lewis, “but he has also shown us that he’s tough at the catch. He’s shown how tough he truly is. He takes some shots, and holds on to the ball, and then comes back for more, even when he’s hurting.” “I know I have a lot to offer and I’m confident in what I can do out there,” says Jones. “I think I’m an all-around receiver and can do it all in terms of short to intermediate routes and screens and going deep. I think I’m pretty well rounded.” But Sanu, drafted in the third round in 2011, two rounds ahead of Jones, is also a receiving force who surely will continue to be heard from. Sanu was held to a modest three-for-26 at Baltimore, but he’s 34-for-342 for the season, ranking second among the WRs in catches and third in yards. Sanu is not as fast as Jones, but at 210 pounds to Jones’ 195, he’s more physical. Dalton has spoken repeatedly about how Sanu inspires a QB’s confidence by running the right route, finding seams in coverage and winning contested balls. And offensive coordinator Jay Gruden says much the same: “He finds the soft spots in zones,” Gruden said. “There’s nobody better at that than Mo. He played some quarterback (in college) and he was also a safety. He knows all the holes. Knows man-to-man. Knows how to beat coverage. He’s got a size advantage and strength advantage.” And also back in the WR mix for the season’s finishing stretch is the hiccup-quick Andrew Hawkins. Hawkins is still looking to find his groove in the offense after missing the season’s first eight games with an ankle injury, but last season the 5-7, 180-pounder ranked third on the team and second among WRs in catches (51) and receiving yards (533), with four TDs. Hawkins has just one catch for 10 yards in the last two games, his only action of the season.

Recapping Marv’s big breakout: A review of WR Marvin Jones’ four-TD reception performance on Oct. 27 vs. the New York Jets: ● It was a Bengals record for receiving TDs in a game, coming in the franchise’s 700th regular-season contest. Three receiving TDs in a game had been accomplished 11 times, most recently by Chad Johnson vs. Tennessee on Nov. 25, 2007. ● It tied the club record for most TDs of any kind in a game, the third instance in club history. FB Larry Kinnebrew had three rushing TDs and one receiving score on Oct. 28, 1984 at Houston, and HB Corey Dillon had four rushing scores on Dec. 4, 1997 vs. Tennessee. ● Jones became the first player on any NFL team to get four receiving TDs in a game since Nov. 18, 2007, when New England’s Randy Moss and Dallas’ Terrell Owens each had four. Almost there for rare six-pack: Through Weeks 6 and 7 this season, the Bengals were on pace for an historic accomplishment in balanced pass receiving numbers. Based on 16-game projections of their yards totals, they were on pace to boast of six receivers with 500 or more yards, a feat accomplished only once previously in NFL history. Through Weeks 8, 9 and 10, one of the six has fallen just below a 500-yard pace. But the chance for the rare feat at season’s end is still very much alive. Rookie HB Giovani Bernard, who had 37 yards on eight catches last week at Baltimore, is now at 304 in receiving yards, on pace for 486. Bernard would need 40 yards this week vs. Cleveland to re-establish himself on a pace to reach 500. TE Jermaine Gresham needs 23 yards vs. Cleveland to remain on a 500 pace, and WR Mohamed Sanu needs just two yards. The top three in yards — WR A.J. Green, WR Marvin Jones and TE Tyler Eifert — all would stay on 500-yard paces even if they had no yards against the Browns. The only NFL team to finish a season with six 500-yard receivers has been the 2011 New Orleans Saints, who perhaps not coincidentally finished as a division champion with a 13-3 record. With Drew Brees throwing virtually all the team’s passes, the Saints’ 500-yard receivers were TE Jimmy Graham (1310), WR Marques Colston (1143), RB Darren Sproles (710), WR Lance Moore (627), WR Robert Meachem (620) and WR Devery Henderson (503). Below are the six Bengals on an early pace to top or threaten the 500 mark:

“As everybody can see, we have lots of options here,” said QB Andy Dalton. “We have a bunch of guys catching balls and making plays. My job is to spread it out.” In their previous 45 seasons, the Bengals have never had more than four players reach 500 receiving yards, and only twice has the total hit four. Both of the teams with four receivers at 500-plus had double-digit win totals. The 1986 team, with TE Rodney Holman fourth at 570, went 10-6. The 1981 team, with WR Steve Kreider fourth at 520, went 12-4 and advanced to Super Bowl XVI. He’s still just Mike: DE Michael Johnson has come a ways since joining the Bengals in 2009 as a third-round draft choice with high potential but a somewhat inconsistent college resume from Georgia Tech. He has missed only one game and has steadily improved his overall play. Last year he posted 11.5 sacks, second most by a Bengal since 1983, and copped an AFC Defensive Player of the Week award. This season he has 2.5 sacks, a team-leading 23 QB pressures and 42 tackles (second on the line). He has a line-leading five passes defensed, one of which led to a Vincent Rey interception at Baltimore last week, and his forced fumble in the fourth quarter started the winning play on Sept. 22 vs. Green Bay. Johnson’s original contract expired after last season, and the team for 2013 named him its “franchise player.” As a result, he is splaying this season on a one-year contract, and the franchise-player formula in the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, based on top defensive end salaries across the league, has netted for him a salary upwards of $11 million. Although the franchise player designation is indeed a product of bargaining between the NFL and the players’ union, more than a few players over the years have proclaimed the tag a mixed blessing at best, as it effectively keeps them out of the free agent market. But Johnson, always known to the team and fans as a bright and down-to-earth individual, has shown no signs of a personality change since earning his windfall and also not reaching agreement with the team

on the option of signing a longer-term deal. “That just isn’t the way I was taught,” said Johnson. “I was raised to believe that you show up for work, you go to work, and you do your best. You don’t gripe about stuff that you don’t have control over. I’m going to go out there, work, and then see how things play out. I pray on the situation — me and my family — that things will work out for the best, and obviously this is best for both sides. “Man, I’m from Selma, Alabama. I didn’t have everything that I wanted growing up, but I had everything that I needed. It taught me that you don’t have to have the world to be happy and blessed. Sure, you want to get as much as you can out of this game, but I’m thankful for the opportunity, and I’m going to go out and do what I love to do and make the most of it. It’s a nice sum for one year, and a whole lot of people don’t see something like that in their whole lifetime. I’m going to continue to work my tail off.” Bengals get distance from fumble bug: The Bengals have lost only one fumble in the last five games, that one coming on Oct. 31 at Miami, on a sack-and-strip against QB Andy Dalton by DE Cameron Wake. It has been a good turnaround for the Bengals. In the three games prior to the last five, Cincinnati lost five fumbles. On the season, the Bengals have fumbled 15 times with seven lost, and their opponents have fumbled 10 times with seven lost. Cincinnati evened its fumble-lost statistic with opponents last week, when LB James Harrison recovered a Joe Flacco fumble forced by DE Carlos Dunlap. This week’s Cincinnati opponent, the Cleveland Browns, have fumbled eight times with three lost, and their opponents have fumbled nine times with five lost. The Browns are tied for first in the NFL, with New Orleans and Jacksonville, for fewest fumbles lost. In each of their last two full seasons, in which they earned playoff berths, the Bengals had fewer fumbles and fewer lost fumbles than their opponents. Over 2011-12, Cincinnati fumbled only 36 times compared to its opponents’ 52, and the Bengals lost only 18 compared to their foes’ 28. “Any time you have the ball in your hands, you need to be accountable for your actions,” said Jay Gruden, the team’s offensive coordinator for the last three seasons. “You need to protect. There’s been a lot of great players who never made it in the NFL because they had ball security issues. That’s very important for coaches’ careers, for seasons, for Super Bowl runs, playoff runs. They can end a season.” Eleven of this season’s Bengals fumbles have been by the offense. There have been three fumbles on special teams and one by the defense (after recovering a fumble). But all seven of the lost fumbles have been by the offense. Nugent dabbles with history: Bengals K Mike Nugent did not have a memorable day last week at Baltimore. He was wide left on a 42-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter and made a 32-yarder in the third quarter. But the Ohio State product had a memorable four-week period prior to last week. For a precious few minutes at Miami on Oct. 31, it seemed he would have a game-winning field goal for the third time in four weeks. His 54-yarder with 1:24 to play gave the Bengals a 20-17 lead. Two weeks earlier, he had connected from 54 yards as time expired to give the Bengals a 27-24 win at Detroit, and three weeks earlier, his 43-yarder in overtime had sealed a 27-24 win at Buffalo. But the Dolphins denied Nugent another week of glory, tying the game with a Caleb Sturgis FG at 0:11 and winning on overtime on a safety. Nugent’s 54-yarder at Miami, like his 54-yarder at Detroit, would have tied the Bengals record for longest game-winner inside two minutes of the fourth quarter or in overtime. The only previous instance was a 54-yarder by Doug Pelfrey that beat Philadelphia at Riverfront Stadium on Christmas Eve 1994. In the Buffalo and Detroit games, Nugent also became the first Cincinnati kicker to win games on the last play in back-to-back games since Pelfrey did it in that same 1994 season, on Nov. 6 in overtime at Seattle and on Nov. 13 in regulation vs. Houston. A ninth-year NFL veteran who’s in his fourth year with the Bengals, Nugent holds team records for most field goals (33) and points (132) in a season, both set in 2011. He shares the mark for longest Bengals field goal, with a 55-yarder last year on Nov. 25 vs. Oakland. Long-distance movers: In 10 games this season, the Bengals have mounted 14 TD drives of 80 or more yards, and six of those have been from 90 or more. Cincinnati has exceeded its total of 80-yarders from both the full 2011 season (nine) and the full ’12 campaign (10). As for TD drives of 90-plus, the Bengals had only one each in ’11 and ’12.

Here’s a recap of this year’s long TD marches: ● Sept. 8 at Chicago: 97 yards in nine plays, capped by two-yard pass from Andy Dalton to A.J. Green in first quarter. ● Chicago: 91 yards in eight plays, capped by 45-yard pass from Dalton to A.J. Green in second quarter. ● Chicago: 80 yards in 12 plays, capped by five-yard BenJarvus Green-Ellis rush in third quarter. ● Sept. 16 vs. Pittsburgh: 87 yards in five plays, capped by seven-yard Giovani Bernard rush in first quarter. ● Sept. 22 vs. Green Bay: 80 yards in 10 plays, capped by three-yard Giovani Bernard rush in first quarter. ● Green Bay: 95 yards in seven plays, capped by 11-yard pass from Dalton to Marvin Jones in fourth quarter. ● Oct. 6 vs. New England: 93 yards in 14 plays, capped by one-yard BenJarvus Green-Ellis rush in fourth quarter. ● Oct. 13 at Buffalo: 83 yards in eight plays, capped by 18-yard pass from Dalton to A.J. Green in first quarter. ● Buffalo: 98 yards in nine plays, capped by 20-yard pass from Dalton to Giovani Bernard in second quarter. ● Oct. 20 at Detroit: 90 yards in three plays, with the last 82 coming on a Dalton-to-Green pass in the first quarter. ● Detroit: 80 yards in nine plays, capped by 32-yard pass from Dalton to Tyler Eifert in third quarter. ● Oct. 27 vs. N.Y. Jets: 80 yards in 10 plays, capped by nine-yard pass from Dalton to Marvin Jones in first quarter. ● N.Y. Jets: 86 yards in eight plays, capped by six-yard pass from Dalton to Marvin Jones in second quarter. ● Oct. 31 at Miami: 80 yards in 12 plays, capped by three-yard Giovani Bernard rush in third quarter. “Hopefully we can keep the long drives going and solidify the shorter ones,” said C Kyle Cook. “You love when you get the ball at the 40 — your 40 or their 40. But for some reason, we sometimes can stall out, and then when we get the ball way deep, we make something of it.” The Bengals’ 98-yard TD drive in the second quarter at Buffalo was the team’s first drive of 98 or more yards since Dec. 27, 2009 vs. Kansas City. Sharing the load at HB: It’s no huge surprise, given preseason forecasts for the offense, but the Bengals indeed are showing notable balance this season in terms of rushing attempts from the HB position. BenJarvus Green-Ellis has 140 carries, on pace for 224 over 16 games, and Giovani Bernard has 95, on pace for 152. The significance is in Bernard’s number, because in the last 21 full seasons (since 1992), the Bengals had two rushers with 152 or more carries only once. That was in 2007, when Kenny Watson had 178 and Rudi Johnson had 170. Last season, Green-Ellis had 278 carries, and the HB with the second most, Cedric Peerman, had only 36. It’s a situation the Bengals wanted to change for 2013. “I think 85 or 90 percent of the teams in the league have two or three running backs that they use,” said offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. “It’s important to have two or three. These games are physical, man. These 16 games ... I mean, it’s nonstop, especially with a Thursday game in there for everybody and most teams having a Monday.” Bernard, the rookie second-round draft choice, has the better per-carry average thus far, at 4.4 to Green-Ellis’ 3.3, but Gruden says the offense depends on the 5-11, 220-pound veteran to take on more of the grinding duty while Bernard is saved more for potentially ripe situations. “He has different carries that Gio has,” Gruden said of Green-Ellis. “He has a lot of the first-down carries and a lot of short-yardage carries, so maybe his numbers are skewed a little bit. But he’s a tough runner inside and does a good job with pass protection. People see the flash runs that Gio gets us, but the meat-and-potatoes runs that Benny has, he’s had good runs also. You don’t want to discount Benny just because Gio had a couple of really special runs.” Bernard keeps producing: Giovani Bernard, Cincinnati’s rookie second-round draft choice, continues to shine as a new element in the offense. Last week’s effort at Baltimore was not his most outstanding of the season, but he was certainly a factor. He led the team in rushing with 58 yards on 14 carries (4.1 average), and he also caught a personal season-high of eight passes, for 37 yards. He scored an 18-yard TD in the fourth quarter on a darting run after a short pass reception, tying with WR Marvin Jones for the team lead in TDs (seven). His 22 offensive touches was a team season high, and that was quite significant in the toughness category, because he had been limited in practice all week due to painful bruised ribs suffered Oct. 31 at Miami.

(Bernard keeps producing, continued)

Before being injured in the Miami game, Bernard made a play that was one of the leading NFL highlights of the week. In the third quarter, starting out on a sweep to the right from the Miami 35, he found himself looking at at five-yard loss, with no holes in sight at the Miami 40. No matter, though. He reversed field all the way to the left side, and with help from blockers that included QB Andy Dalton, he zigged and zagged his way back to the middle of the field and scored. He broke or eluded five good tackle possibilities by Miami on the way. “Obviously it was a big-time play,” said Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. “He reversed field and made something out of nothing. Said offensive coordinator Jay Gruden: “Anytime you draw a play up and it’s not there, it’s nice to have somebody who can make people miss and take it to the house. In this league, it’s very difficult to run the ball for lots of yards unless you have somebody that can do something at the second level. That was good to see. Fun.” Bernard was the first running back selected in the 2013 draft, taken by the Bengals in the second round (37th overall). In addition to being tied for the team lead in TDs, he’s second on the team behind WR A.J. Green in yards from scrimmage, with 723. Bernard has a 4.4-yard rushing average (95-for-419), and he has 38 receptions (second on the team) for 304 yards (8.0). Bernard’s arguably most encouraging sign as a receiver has been his ability to take a short, easy-to-complete pass in the flat and use his acceleration to produce a long gain. In addition to doing it on his TD at Baltimore, he has had big plays of that variety on Oct. 13 at Buffalo, Sept. 22 vs. Green Bay and Sept. 16 vs. Pittsburgh. “You can just kick it out to him and let him run,” says QB Andy Dalton. “That’s what he’s really good at.” Gio’s paces: With seven touchdowns in 10 games, Bengals rookie HB Giovani Bernard is on pace for 11 touchdowns on the season (actual projection of 11.2). That would be the second-most TDs by a Bengals rookie, topped only by 15 (all rushing) by FB Ickey Woods in 1988. Bernard has four rushing TDs and three as a receiver. Bernard is on pace for 486 receiving yards over 16 games, which would be third-most in Bengals history for a running back. The only RB to top 486 has been James Brooks, who had 686 receiving yards in 1986 and 576 in 1985. The current third-best total for a RB is 427 yards by Derrick Fenner in 1993. Bernard is on pace for 1157 yards from scrimmage (671 rushing, 475 receiving), which would be the most scrimmage yards for a Bengals rookie since 1997, when HB Corey Dillon had 1388 (1129 rushing, 259 receiving). Bengals are big at TE spot: Though some observers saw the first-round 2013 draft selection of TE Tyler Eifert as a less than promising sign for incumbent TE Jermaine Gresham, the season is playing out in a way that backs up the “no worries” message given consistently by Bengals’ coaches. Head coach Marvin Lewis said all along that Eifert would be much more a complement to Gresham than a competitor. That Eifert’s exceptional receiving skills would blend with Gresham’s more traditional TE talents to give the offense a new and difficult-to-defend look. And through Week 10, the Bengals rank second in the NFL in receptions by TEs (64) and third in receiving yards at the position (686). Gresham didn’t play last week at Baltimore due to a groin strain, but for the season he has 33 receptions for 321 yards and a TD. Gresham may have a chance to return to action this week against the Browns. Eifert caught three-for-55 at Baltimore (second on team in receiving yards), and for the season he has 30 catches for 362 yards and a TD. “I don’t think a lot of people have two tight ends like we have,” said offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. “We are just trying to make it hard for the poor coach on the other team to break us down (in game-planning). We’re just scratching the surface here, but I think we’re throwing a lot at defensive coordinators and making them work a little bit.” Gresham, at 6-5 and 260 pounds, is a physical bruiser with good hands and the ability to gain yards after the catch. “Jermaine is really good at that,” said QB Andy Dalton. “Once the ball is in his hands, he makes guys miss and finds ways to get first downs. I’m really happy with him.” Eifert had a highlight-reel play on Oct. 27 at Detroit, hauling in a 32-yard TD pass from Dalton while tightly covered and falling to the ground in the end zone. It was Eifert’s first NFL TD, giving Cincinnati a 21-10 lead, and it showed off the exceptional receiving skills that led to his early draft selection. Eifert’s 61-yard

reception in Game 2 vs. Pittsburgh was the longest by a Bengals TE since 2004. Gresham started the first nine games, prior to missing the Baltimore contest. Eifert has started all 10 games, as the Bengals have made a two-TE set part of their base offense. “Tyler’s a stud in all aspects,” says Gresham. “Run and pass block, and you know he can run routes. Watch him more and more, and you see he’s a complete tight end.” Polian plugs Eifert: Bill Polian, former Indianapolis Colts president and now an analyst for Sirius NFL Radio, sings the praises of TE Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati’s first-round selection in the 2013 draft. Eifert has 30 receptions for 362 yards and one TD through 10 games. He had a superb end-zone catch against tight coverage for a 32-yard TD on Oct. 20 at Detroit, and his 61-yard reception on Sept. 16 vs. Pittsburgh was the longest by a Bengals TE since Matt Schobel had a 74-yarder in 2004. Polian agrees with observers who have said that Eifert, a pass-catcher extraordinaire at Notre Dame, has the potential for a career like that of one of Polian’s former Colts players, Pro Bowl TE Dallas Clark. “Absolutely,” Polian said. “(Eifert) was one of the few guys in this draft that I said is can’t-miss, and obviously he’s had a big effect on this offense.” The Bengals already have a two-time Pro Bowl TE in Jermaine Gresham (see previous item), but Eifert is envisioned as more of a complement to Gresham than a competitor, based mostly on those exceptional receiving skills. “(Eifert) has excellent hands, an excellent feel for route-running,” Polian said. “His speed is comparable to Dallas. The hands are in the same ballpark. He’s more of a rebounder than Dallas in his style of catching. But he makes as many spectacular grabs.” By “rebounder,” Polian means Eifert uses his body to win contested balls. “He’ll go up and fight DBs for balls and out-jump them,” Polian said. “He’s got long arms and a long body. He’s a good jumper and he can make catches in the air, which is hard for people to do. Dallas could do that, too. He can get off the ground and catch the ball exceptionally well. At the college level he won the vast majority of contested balls that were thrown to him. He’s unique in that way.” Dalton on the draft dandies: QB Andy Dalton, on rookies Tyler Eifert and Giovani Bernard: “Giovani’s done a really good job. We drafted him to be a guy that’s versatile; a guy that we can move around, who can catch the ball out of the backfield and make big plays. That’s exactly what we’ve gotten out of him. It’s exciting to see him come out and play big in games like he has. Tyler, he’s so versatile. He can move all around — outside, inside and line up at the regular tight end spot. We feel like we’ve got matchups with both of our tight ends. Those guys have done a lot of really good things for us. We’re going to do all the things we can to get matchups with those guys.” Make room, Mike Ditka: Though Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham missed last week’s game with a groin strain, he is still pace to join Hall of Famer Mike Ditka as the only TEs in NFL history to catch 50 or more passes in each of their first four seasons in the league. Gresham has 33 catches at the 10-game mark of the season, projecting to 53 for the full campaign. Though TEs such as New England’s Rob Gronkowski and New Orleans’ Jimmy Graham put up more explosive receptions numbers than Gresham in 2011 and ’12, their teams’ offensive schemes have been tailored to them in ways not the case with Gresham and the Bengals. And despite their big numbers, neither hit the 50 mark as a rookie. Gronkowski had only 42 catches as a rookie in 2010, and Graham had only 31 that season. Here’s a look at the first four NFL seasons for Ditka and Gresham, with Gresham’s 2013 numbers projected to 16 games:

(Bengals notes, continued)

Make way for Andre: LOT Andrew Whitworth deservedly garnered top honors on the Bengals’ offensive line last season, becoming the first Cincinnati offensive lineman in the Pro Bowl since OT Willie Anderson in 2006. This season, however, the team is more sure than ever that it has another Pro Bowl-worthy blocker in ROT Andre Smith, the fifth-year pro selected sixth overall by Cincinnati in the 2009 draft. A consensus All-American at Alabama, rated among the most powerful run blockers in Southeastern Conference history, Smith did not enjoy instant success as a pro. He missed essentially all of his first preseason, due to protracted contract negotiations, and he suffered a foot fracture in his first week of practice. He had trouble controlling his weight as a young player, and he totaled only 13 games with five starts in his first two seasons. But his maturing process — both mentally and physically — has moved steadily ahead since 2011. He played and started 30 of the 32 games in 2011-12, helping lead Cincinnati to a pair of postseason berths. This year, he re-signed with Cincinnati as an unrestricted free agent, and he has started and played injury-free in all 10 games. “He looked in great shape right when he showed up,” said assistant head coach/offensive line coach Paul Alexander. “He looks light on his feet and he’s playing with intensity. You used to see it in spurts, but now you see it routinely. I used to use his tape sometimes (in meetings), but now I use it more consistently. I’ll say, ‘Watch Andre do this.’ It’s a nice sign. It’s all coming together for him.” Bengals radio analyst Dave Lapham, a 10-year Bengals offensive lineman (1974-83), says: “Andre seems pretty much at peace. He’s playing, not thinking too much. There’s no hesitation, no uncertainty. He’s playing at a really high level.” And Smith confirms Lapham’s analysis. “I’m just having fun, getting back to basics,” Smith said. “Just play football. Do what I’ve been doing since I was a little kid. Run around and have fun and dominate.” Who needs the draft? The Bengals were the NFL’s No. 6 defense last season. Expectations for the 2013 defense are even higher, and the unit currently ranks fourth in the league. And the team isn’t at all worried that at linebacker, four of the six players on the roster entered the NFL as college free agents, passed over in the draft. Two are running in No. 1 spots on the depth chart: ● SLB James Harrison, signed this year as a free agent, is widely known as a Pittsburgh Steelers standout who made five Pro Bowls and is a former NFL Defensive Player of the Year. But some may have forgotten, or never knew, that Harrison was undrafted out of Kent State in 2002. He played in only one game over 2002 and ’03. He spent much of those two years on the Pittsburgh practice squad, and he was not in the NFL at all in the second half of ’03, having been released from the Steelers practice squad in October. He was re-signed by the Steelers just before 2004 training camp, after having been signed and later cut by Baltimore in the offseason. He finally won the confidence of Steelers coaches in the ’04 camp and played in every regular-season game in ’04. Harrison has played in all 10 games this season, with six starts, and he has 26 tackles with two sacks, plus a fumble recovery. In the Oct. 13 overtime win at Buffalo, he made two key plays on a goal-line stand. He is also playing some snaps on special teams, and on Carlos Dunlap’s key blocked FG on Oct. 20 at Detroit, it was Harrison’s penetration against his blocker that opened up a lane for Dunlap. ● WLB Vontaze Burfict was a Bengals college free agent signee last year and went on to lead the team in tackles (174). He beat a rap from his Arizona State career that said despite having great talent, he was too undisciplined and out of shape to be worthy of a draft selection. Burfict last year set a Bengals record for most starts (14) in a rookie season by a college free agent. He leads the team in tackles again this season, with 128 through 10 games. No other player has more than 77 tackles. Original college free agents in No. 2 spots on the depth chart are third-year player Vincent Rey (MLB) and rookie Jayson DiManche (SLB), and Rey has started the last two games at MLB, in place of injured Rey Maualuga. Rey led the team in tackles (10) on Oct. 31 at Miami, and last week at Baltimore, Rey became the first player in Bengals history to get as many as three sacks plus an interception in one game. Running in a No. 3 depth chart spot is first-year pro J.K. Schaffer, who also entered the NFL as a CFA. The Bengals had another valued prospect who was a college free agent, Emmanuel Lamur, but he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the final preseason game. The only LBs on the current roster who entered the NFL through the draft are Maualuga (second round, Bengals, 2009) and reserve WLB Michael Boley (fifth round, Atlanta, ’05).

On-site inspiration: The success of former college free agents with the Bengals LB corps (see previous item) served as fuel for the successful bid of rookie college free agent Jayson DiManche of Southern Illinois. He was the only rookie CFA to make the opening 53-player roster. “You see the guys who are established here, like James (Harrison) and Vontaze (Burfict),” DiManche says, “so it’s more than just saying you have a chance. It holds true from the people you are seeing.” DiManche, 23, grew up watching the exploits of Harrison, 35, who has been to five Pro Bowls and was once named NFL Defensive Player of the Year. “It’s crazy,” DiManche says. “For the longest time, he was one of my favorite linebackers ever to play the game. I’ve followed him since I started watching football. I try to model a lot of moves after him. The way he plays with that leverage. That power and speed around that edge. And the physical force he is. A lot of guys look up to him. It’s an honor to be on the team with him.” DiManche has played in all 10 games and is tied for the special teams lead in tackles (eight). Huber’s ‘pin factor’ tied for fifth: At Baltimore, for the first time since the season opener, Bengals P Kevin Huber did not have a kick that pinned the opposition inside its 20-yard line. But he also did not have a touchback — he’s had only one all season — and for the year he ranks tied for fifth in the NFL in differential between inside-20s and touchbacks. Huber is at plus-17, with 18 inside-20s and the one touchback. The league leader is Dustin Colquitt of Kansas City at plus-21 (26-5). Huber ranks only 27th in the NFL for the season in gross punting average (43.8), but he’s 10th in net at 40.6. “Kevin has had a really good year,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “We’re asking Kevin to do special things with the ball, and he’s delivering. Every time you see the returner catch a ball on the boundary and step out of bounds, Kevin’s done his job again. That’s what we want all the time. We want that ball pinned to the boundary as much as we can. He doesn’t get the opportunity like some guys just to stand back there and boom the football. We want that ball put in certain spots all the time. It’s important when we do that.” Huber’s ability to pin the opposition was crucial in wins on Oct. 13 at Buffalo and Oct. 20 at Detroit. In the Buffalo game, he pinned the Bills at their seven-yard line in overtime, helping set up field position for Mike Nugent’s game-winning 43-yard field goal on the next Cincinnati possession. At Detroit, he pinned the Lions at their six late in the fourth quarter, helping set up field position for Nugent’s 54-yard game-winner. And Huber, it’s worth noting, was the holder for both field goals, continuing the role he has held since his rookie year of 2009. Huber holds the Bengals franchise’s best career ratio of inside-20s to touchbacks. His ratio is 3.85-to-1 (127-33). Second in that category is Kyle Larson, who punted for Cincinnati from 2004-08 and finished with a ratio of 3.41-to-1 (109-32). A fifth-year Bengal, Huber opted not to test the unrestricted free agent market this past offseason, re-signing with Cincinnati just before the new league year began. Huber set Bengals season records last year for gross punting average (46.6 yards) and net average (42.0), and in so doing he qualified for the franchise’s career leads in gross and net average. He still holds those career leads through last week, with a 44.0 gross average and a 39.1 net. Second to Huber in Bengals annals for career gross average is Dave Lewis (1970-73) at 43.7. Lewis is also second to Huber in all-time net average, at 38.4. Tate has bit of ground to make up: Bengals punt returner Brandon Tate needs a big return to break back on top in the franchise’s rankings for career punt return average. He’s in a tight race with two fixed targets and currently ranks third. Fixed target No. 1 is Quan Cosby, who averaged 9.99 yards in a Bengals career covering 2009 and 2010. Cosby had 699 yards on 70 returns. Fixed target No. 2 is Mike Martin, who averaged 9.86 yards from 1983-89. Tate entered the Oct. 27 Jets game in first place all-time, with a 10.02 average (802 yards on 80 returns). But he has been held to an 8.2-yard average in the last three games (14-for-115) and he now ranks third all time at 9.76. He has 917 yards on 94 returns. For this season, Tate is averaging 8.5 yards on 22 returns. A total of 50 punt returns is required to qualify for the Bengals’ all-time lead in return average. Another current Bengal, CB Adam Jones, has a 10.93-yard average for Cincinnati (42-for-459), but Jones has only 42 career returns as a Bengal. He had one return for 15 yards last week at Baltimore. Streaks and service leaders: NT Domata Peko claims the current roster’s longest streak for consecutive Bengals starts (61). The current

(Streaks and service leaders, continued)

roster’s longest streak of consecutive Bengals games played is 77, by P Kevin Huber. For non-kickers, the team’s longest streak of consecutive Bengals games played is now held by Peko at 61. The above streaks are also the longest on the roster for all NFL games. Peko has the most total Bengals games played on the current roster (120), and OT Andrew Whitworth has the most Bengals starts (113). The player with the most total NFL games (164) and starts (162) is CB Terence Newman. All streaks and totals above include regular-season and postseason games. Second time ever: The Bengals won Games 6 and 7 of this season by the same score — 27-24 (at Buffalo and Detroit) — and yes, that’s unusual. It’s only the second time in franchise history for the team to win or lose consecutive games by the same score in the same season. The only previous instance was in 2009, when Cincinnati posted consecutive 23-20 wins vs. Pittsburgh and at Cleveland in Weeks 3 and 4. How about the same score being repeated in a season with different sides winning? That has happened only once. In October of 1996, the Bengals followed a 28-21 loss at San Francisco with a 28-21 win vs. Jacksonville. Turnover tables are turned: During the tenure of head coach Marvin Lewis (2003-present), the Bengals rank seventh in the NFL in turnover differential, at plus-32. This despite an uncharacteristic minus-4 for this season. Prior to Lewis’ tenure, the Bengals had posted a minus turnover differential for five straight years (1998-2002). Since 2003, NFL teams with just a plus-one differential have won 69.3 percent of their games. At plus-two the percentage has been 83.8. Teams with any plus from one to five have won 79.8 percent of the time. Here are the top seven teams in differential since 2003:

TEAM TAKEAWAYS GIVEAWAYS DIFFERENTIAL New England ............................ 343........................... 213 .............................. +130 Indianapolis ............................... 279........................... 227 ................................ +52 Baltimore ................................... 321........................... 279 ................................ +42 Atlanta ....................................... 291........................... 252 ................................ +39 Green Bay ................................. 298........................... 264 ................................ +34 Carolina .................................... 317........................... 284 ................................ +33 Cincinnati .................................. 313........................... 281 ................................ +32

Since 2003, the Bengals rank fifth in the NFL in most takeaways (313) and fifth in points off turnovers (980). A stat that matters: For the Bengals term of coach Marvin Lewis (2003-present), a plus-differential in turnovers reflects a big plus in the win column. And the reverse has gone for a minus. The Bengals are 52-13-1 in the regular season under Lewis with a plus, for a .795 winning percentage. But the Bengals are 11-54 under Lewis when posting a minus differential, including a minus-three reading (one takeaway, four giveaways) in the Week 9 loss at Miami. “It makes a huge difference,” Lewis says. “You see it game after game in the NFL. You’ve got to possess the football. If you possess the football, good things can happen. If you turn the ball over to them, you’ve got a harder night.” The Bengals’ experience with turnovers under Lewis is backed up by league numbers. Since the start of the 2003 season, here are the records of teams with varying turnover differentials (NOTE: Minus differentials are not included because they are the exact reverse of the plus figure for the same numbers):

DIFFERENTIAL W-L-T PCT. Plus-1 ............................................................................... 667-295-1 .693 Plus-2 ............................................................................... 523-101-0 .838 Plus-3 ................................................................................. 293-32-1 .900 Plus-4 ................................................................................... 166-5-0 .971 Plus-5 or more ....................................................................... 82-3-0 .965

Week 10 play in the NFL was a rare one. Teams with a plus-differential in turnovers went only 4-5. But since 2003, NFL teams with any plus have a combined winning percentage of .798. The combined W-L record is 1729-436-2. And when it’s even? Last week’s Baltimore game saw the end of a five-game streak, dating back to last season, when the Bengals had won games with even turnover differential. The Ravens prevailed 20-17 in overtime in a game which saw each team with three turnovers. The winning streak of five included four games this season — Sept. 22 vs. Green Bay, Oct. 6 vs. New England, Oct. 13 at Buffalo and Oct. 20 at Detroit —

and the last even-differential game of 2012, when Cincinnati won 13-10 at Pittsburgh to clinch a playoff spot. The Bengals are now 22-17 in Lewis’ full tenure in even-differential games, for a winning percentage of .564. Uniform watch: The Bengals are scheduled to wear orange jerseys and white pants in the Cleveland game. Since 2004, when the Bengals made their last significant uniform redesign, the team has had a number of color options for jerseys and pants. Below are the records (regular season plus postseason) for the different combinations:

JERSEY PANTS W-L-T PCT. Orange* Black ...................................................................... 3-0-0 1.000 Orange* White .................................................................... 11-5-0 .688 Black Black .................................................................... 11-9-1 .548 White Black .................................................................. 18-21-0 .462 Black White .................................................................. 22-25-0 .468 White White .................................................................. 12-20-0 .375

* — Orange is designated as a “specialty jersey” with the NFL and can be worn for only two games per year. Is it the pep talks? A 13-6 victory on Oct. 6 vs. New England lifted the Bengals to a 10-2 record under Marvin Lewis when a game is tied at halftime. The Bengals are 2-0 this season when tied at halftime, as they also took down Pittsburgh in Game 2 after an intermission deadlock. Here is Cincinnati’s history under Lewis in such games:

Additional notes include: ● The Bengals played to five halftime ties in 2003, Lewis’ first season, and did not have another until ’09. ● Lewis’ first victory from a halftime tie was also his first Bengals win, a 21-14 decision at Cleveland in Game 4 of ’03. ● The Bengals are 57-22-1 under Lewis when leading at halftime but stand only 18-60-0 when trailing. Lopsided wins: The Bengals’ 40-point winning margin on Oct. 27 vs. the Jets was the fourth-largest in franchise history. The three largest all came against the Houston Oilers, and the next two have both been against the Jets. Here’s a look at the five largest winning margins by the Bengals:

DATE OPPONENT SCORE MARGIN 12-17-89 HOUSTON ............................................................ 61-7 54 12-17-72 @Houston ........................................................... 61-17 44 11-6-83 @Houston ........................................................... 55-14 41 10-27-13 N.Y. JETS ............................................................. 49-9 40 12-12-76 @N.Y. Jets ............................................................ 42-3 39 Unique scores: The Bengals’ 49-9 victory over the Jets on Oct. 27 is the only game in NFL history to end by that score, Elias Sports Bureau has confirmed. In 2011, the Bengals played in the only 13-8 game in NFL history, losing at home to San Francisco. TV streak bound for 130: In each of the last 129 Cincinnati TV ratings weeks that have included a Bengals regular-season or postseason broadcast — dating back to the 2004 season — the Bengals have ruled the Cincinnati airwaves. They have been the top-rated show among all programming in the Cincinnati market, and usually by a wide margin. And the streak is virtually certain to hit 130 when local rankings are in for the week of Nov. 4-10. The Bengals’ Nov. 10 game at Baltimore drew a local rating

— 12 —

(TV streak bound for 130, continued)

of 31.7, a figure no non-Bengals programs have approached in recent years. The rating number indicates the percentage of market households tuned to the game — including those not watching TV at the time. The streak began on Dec. 5, 2004, when a wild Bengals win at Baltimore outpolled all other programs. The highest local Bengals rating during the streak has been 45.5 for a home playoff game vs. Pittsburgh on Jan. 8, 2006. The high rating of Bengals games has occurred despite the fact most games are played in the afternoon, when overall TV viewership is not as high as it is during the evening. Lewis’ Bengals bad news for NFC North: Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis sports a 9-2 record against teams from the NFC North Division. His clubs are 3-0 against Detroit after last week’s win at Ford Field, and they are also 3-0 against Green Bay. The Bengals are 2-1 against Chicago and 1-1 against Minnesota. Under the NFL’s schedule rotation, the Bengals are playing all four NFC North teams this season. Cincinnati lost to Chicago in the season opener and defeated Green Bay in Week 3. The Bengals will close out their NFC North assignment against Minnesota on Dec. 22 at Paul Brown Stadium. Now that’s fast: On Sept. 22 vs. Green Bay, the Bengals scored two TDs in 12 seconds of elapsed clock time. HB Giovani Bernard scored on a three-yard run with 9:20 left in the first quarter and BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored on a two-yarder at 9:08. A Packers lost fumble on a kickoff return separated the pair. The last time the Bengals had scored two TDs in as little as 0:12 was more than 40 years ago, on Dec. 17, 1972, in a 61-17 win at Houston (tied for most Bengals points in a game). With 14:19 left in the fourth quarter of that contest, Ken Anderson threw a 20-yard TD pass to Doug Dressler. And at 14:07, CB Lemar Parrish scored on a 25-yard INT return. The Georgia connection: The Bengals opened this season with seven players — 13.2 percent of the 53-player roster — hailing from the University of Georgia. The number is now down to four — DT Geno Atkins and DE Robert Geathers are out for the season with injuries, and OT Dennis Roland has been released — but it’s believed the season-opening total of seven established a Bengals franchise-high for most players on the roster at one time from one school. The four former Georgia players still on the roster are G Clint Boling, H-B Orson Charles, WR A.J. Green, and S Shawn Williams. The only other school with more than two former players on the current Bengals roster is Alabama, which claims three in DE Wallace Gilberry, CB Dre Kirkpatrick and OT Andre Smith. When asked about the team’s connection with Georgia, head coach Marvin Lewis said: “I would just say that the coaching staff there, under Coach Mark Richt, has done a great job teaching their guys to play aggressive, attacking football.

Whether it be offense or defense, they’re all no-nonsense guys. So we really like their work ethic, how they handle and carry themselves as people, and that says a lot about the program. I think you guys (media) would agree that they’re personable players. They’re always approachable, they’ve been trained the right way, and the Georgia people just do a great job of that.” Georgia’s pipeline to the Bengals has been a relatively recent connection. On the Bengals’ Alumni List, Georgia ranks only tied for ninth among schools in most players to have made the Cincinnati all-time roster. The Bulldog total is 14. The runaway leader for producing Bengals is Ohio State, at 26 entering this season. The University of Florida is second at 18, and third place at 16 is shared by the University of Cincinnati, Michigan, Penn State and West Virginia. Bengal bites: Cincinnati’s defense ranks fourth in the NFL in fewest yards allowed per play (4.7), but Cleveland is No. 1 at 4.5. Seattle is No. 2 at 4.6 ... Bengals QB Andy Dalton has 14 career games with a passer rating of 100 or above, and the Bengals have won 13 of those. Cincinnati’s only loss with Dalton in triple digits was in the second game of his career, in 2011, when he posted a 107.0 in a 24-22 loss at Denver ... On Oct. 27 vs. the Jets, the Bengals had two INT returns for TDs (S Chris Crocker 32 yards, CB Adam Jones 60) for the first time since Dec. 16, 1984 vs. Buffalo, when S John Simmons had a 43-yarder and S James Griffin scored from 57 ... Cincinnati’s Oct. 31 loss at Miami dropped the team’s all-time record in Thursday games to 5-4 ... There have been no two-point conversion attempts in Bengals games this season. Since 1994, when the two-point conversion was added to the NFL rules, the Bengals are 17-for-46 (37.0 percent) and their opponents are 18-for-43 (41.9 percent) ... On Oct. 13 at Buffalo, the Bengals converted a fourth-down-and-15 play in the third quarter, on a 23-yard pass from Andy Dalton to Dane Sanzenbacher. It was the first Bengals fourth-down conversion of 15 or more yards since Nov. 7, 1999, when QB Jeff Blake rushed for 16 yards on a fourth-and-16 at Seattle ... On Sept. 22 against Green Bay, Cincinnati overcame its biggest deficit in a game — 16 points at 30-14 — since rallying from 17 down (20-3) in a 27-26 win at Baltimore on Dec. 5, 2004 ... The 58-yard field goal kicked by Chicago’s Robbie Gould against the Bengals on Sept. 8 is the longest in the NFL this season ... QB Andy Dalton posted a career-best completion percentage on Sept. 8 at Chicago, completing 26-of-33 for a 78.7 percent reading. His previous high had been 78.1, on 25-of-32 on Oct. 16, 2011 vs. Indianapolis. ... Dalton on Sept. 8 led the offense on two TD drives of 90 or more yards (97 and 91), marking the first game in which the Bengals had two 90-yard TD drives since Boomer Esiason led two on Sept. 22, 1991 vs. Washington ... Former Bengals OT Willie Anderson is among 16 first-year eligibles on the first player ballot for the 2014 Hall of Fame class. Anderson played 12 Bengals seasons (1996-2007) and made the Pro Bowl in his last four campaigns ... The oldest Bengal on the 53-player roster is LB James Harrison at 35 (born 5-4-78, four months earlier than CB Terence Newman, who also is 35); the youngest Bengal is HB Giovani Bernard at 21 (born 11-22-91) ... The tallest Bengal on the roster is rookie DE Margus Hunt, standing 6-8; the shortest is WR Andrew Hawkins at 5-7 ... The heaviest Bengals on the roster are OTs Andre Smith and Andrew Whitworth, both at 335; the lightest Bengals are CBs Adam Jones and Chris Lewis-Harris, both at 180.

BENGALS QUOTES Head coach Marvin Lewis, on the team, despite two straight losses, having rallied from 17-3 and 17-0 deficits: “Yeah, this team’s not done, no matter what the situation. They’re not sitting on the bench pouting and all of that kind of stuff. It’s, ‘Let me make the next play.’ The offense was upset because I allowed the clock to run out at the end of the second quarter (with Baltimore leading 17-0), but I just think it was good for us to go in and regroup. We did a good job of regrouping at halftime, getting refocused on what we needed to do.” Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, on having lost two straight but still leading the AFC North by one and one half games: “I told our team, ‘There are eight teams in the NFL right now that can say they’re in first place in a division, and we’re one of them.’ “ Lewis, on QB Andy Dalton’s play at Baltimore: “We (coaches) thought he played inconsistent. We thought he had some marvelous plays, some great audibles and some great checks. He had a couple things that we wish he could have done better, and other guys have to do a little better for him, too. He’ll continue to play better. We put the pressure on him always to play better. He is the offense, he runs the offense. When we’re going good, he gets all the credit. When we’re not as good as we should be, it’s us that

needs to be fixed. He had some plays he could have done better like everybody did, including the head coach. The head coach should have called timeout (before an early fourth-and-one try that failed) and taken the pressure off the offense.” S Chris Crocker, on LB Vincent Rey getting three sacks and an INT at Baltimore, in only his third NFL start: “That’s as good a game as you could possibly have as a middle linebacker. The kid stepped up. It’s too bad we couldn’t get the win for him.” WR A.J. Green, on having dropped a few easy catches this season: “Coming into this year, the whole thing I was thinking about was getting more yards after the catch. But on the easy ones, I’ve tended to take my head out and run before I catch it. I can’t do that. It’s easy to make the hard catch look easy, but I’ve got to concentrate more when I’m wide open.” Gruden, on HB Giovani Bernard making a great reverse-field play at Miami but also losing crucial extra yards when he tried to reverse in OT at Baltimore: “As soon as you start telling a guy like that where to run and how to run, you put handcuffs on him and he becomes ordinary. We will take the bad with the good, and hopefully great comes out of it.”

(Bengals quotes, continued)

Lewis, on replays indicating that WR Marvin Jones had a knee down with possession last week before a Baltimore defender grabbed the ball and was ruled to have made an interception: “It really doesn’t matter. They called it what they called it. We’ve got to make plays. On the other side, let’s make some of those plays. Let’s make some of those contested interceptions like that. We had another ball yesterday in our hands that we didn’t catch. Let’s make sure we catch them all.” Green, on his Hail Mary touchdown catch at Baltimore: “I was in the right spot at the right time; we talk about that a lot. And I was just looking for someone to tap the ball so I could catch it. I stood off to the side and watched. I was thinking about coming back closer to the ball, but I stayed right where I was, and the ball found me.” Green, on setting team records at Baltimore for 100-yard receiving games in a season (six) and consecutive (five): “My numbers are going to come; I don’t worry about that. It’s more important to win. It’s not about stats. It would mean more to me if we had won the game.” DT Brandon Thompson, on replacing injured All-Pro Geno Atkins in the starting lineup: “I don’t really see any pressure in it. I understand Geno’s a great player, but I’m not going to try to come in and be Geno. I am who I am. I’m just going to work hard and do what I have to do.” HB Giovani Bernard, on success gaining yards after short receptions: “He (Andy Dalton) is throwing it to me for a reason, that I can run away from people. Sometimes there are safeties that come down, but most of the time it’s linebackers that are a little bit delayed, because they have to read so much inside and it kind of slows them down. But I’m full speed out of the backfield.” DE Wallace Gilberry, on his success in Cincinnati after being cut last year by Tampa Bay: “The Bengals gave me an opportunity. It’s different. If Coach Marvin (Lewis) tells you something, it’s what he means. When he brought me in and told me about the opportunity, he said, ‘It’s what you do with it. It’s up to you.’ And they have given me the opportunity and I made the best of it. Here I am now a year (from signing) and I’m still in the same position. I’ll do anything I can to help this team win. I’ll do anything I can to help this defense win. Anything I can to help my D-line win, that’s what I’ll do.” WR Marvin Jones, on seeing action as both an offensive player and a special teams player: “It’s what I do; I can run. I can run all day. Conditioning has never been a problem for me. I can play on an 11-, 12-, 14-play drive and then go down and cover a punt.” Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, on his pre-game routine: “This is going to sound stupid. Every week I’ve got this little prayer I say. ‘Let me make the right calls with the right adjustments. Let the players play smart and with great unity.’ As long as they do that, I’m good. I say it about 100 times. Because I’m a nervous son of a gun, it helps calm me a little bit.” OT Andrew Whitworth, on emphasizing the rushing game: “The one thing about the running game is, the only way to stop it once a team gets rolling is to adjust. And if you have to adjust, most times it means coverage-wise, and you lose the good coverages you like to be in. That’s when receivers start to get open.” QB Andy Dalton, on the Bengals defense: “It’s definitely fun to watch those guys go out and play. They’re doing so

many good things, and to see what they do to a guy like Tom Brady ... And what they’ve done to a lot of these quarterbacks — they’re some of the best in the league; they’re playing unbelievable.” Lewis, on the team’s increasing featured use of two TEs (first-round draft picks Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert): “In Jermaine (drafted in 2010), we felt like we got the total package, which is why we picked him when we did. When we were able to select Tyler where we selected, we felt like we were gaining a guy that already had incredible receiving skills that would grow into the physical part of playing tight end. Tyler came in and was better at that than I even expected. The game is not too big for him. He understands things. He’s probably a little bit ahead of his time with the things that he’s natural at. They’ve been a good complement to each other, and it’s been great. In some ways, they both have learned things from each other.” Lewis, when asked how he has ‘restructured the attitude” of the team: “The restructure comes from the people you have and the leadership you have through them, and I think it’s very strong. They know what the ultimate goal is, and they keep people pointed in the right direction. You don’t do it by talking about it, or reading about it, or allowing someone else to talk about you in that manner. You’ve got to go earn it.” ESPN NFL analyst and six-time NFL Executive of the Year Bill Polian, speaking on ESPN’s “NFL Insiders”: “Marvin Lewis is one of the great developers of young people and the characters of young people in this game. He’s in the mold of Tony Dungy. He’s a terrific role model, as well as a terrific coach. ... This is the best team that nobody knows.” HB BenJarvus Green-Ellis, on aiding QB Andy Dalton as a team leader: “I want to lead by example, and when guys ask questions, just answer them. Obviously, it’s a quarterback-driven league, so Andy is going to be a natural leader, but we also have to have guys in place around him. As you know, if you build any company it all starts from the top, but you also have to have good managers to manage each and every group for things to go on.” Dalton, on whether the NFL is becoming a ‘pass first’ league: “We want to be balanced as much as we can. If we can run the ball, it really opens up the passing game. It’s hard to say, run first, pass first. We’re trying to do whatever we can to win the game. Whatever we’re doing well, that’s probably what we’ll stick with. It all depends on the game and the score and that stuff.” Lewis, on veteran players mentoring younger ones: “Veteran guys want to win. They know the clock is running and you only have so many chances. And you only have so many players, so sooner or later those young guys are going to be called on. You want to make sure they are ready to go when they step in that huddle with you. The mentoring of the young guys, and creating mentoring depth on the football team is very, very important.” Lewis, on LB Vontaze Burfict: “He’s a natural leader on the field. He showed that from the first day he got here, out on the field working with the rookies. Does he still play with a chip on his shoulder (after going undrafted last year)? I don’t know. He just plays. He’s a natural football player. He has instincts you can’t teach.” CB Adam Jones, on special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons: “He’s helped me a lot. About ball control and going up and making hard catches. Just believing in myself to make the play for the team. I’m not going to say I was lacking a little bit, but he’s got tremendous confidence in me. His preparation for the opponent is unbelievable. If anyone is half-decent on special teams, Darrin knows about him. He does a good job breaking down film and making sure everyone understands what they need to do.”

POSITION BY POSITION Quarterbacks: Andy Dalton faced steady pass pressure at Baltimore, sacked five times, and he went 24-for-51 (season-low 47.1 percent) for 274 yards with two TDs and three INTs, for a season-low 52.2 passer rating. It was his second consecutive game in which he posted a season-low for passer rating. He also rushed six-for-22, however, making three first downs on third or fourth down. Dalton’s TD passes came on an 18-yard screen to HB Giovani Bernard and a 51-yard Hail Mary to A.J. Green as time expired. Dalton led the Bengals back from a 17-point deficit to force overtime. For the season, Dalton has thrown

239-for-383 (62.4 percent) for 2861 yards with 18 TDs and 13 INTs. His 86.7 passer rating ranks fifth in the AFC. He ranks second in the AFC in passing yards and completions. He has also rushed 38-for-110. Last season, Dalton became the first QB to lead the Bengals to playoff appearances in his first two seasons; and this season, he is looking to become only the fifth starting QB in NFL history to reach the playoffs in his first three seasons. No. 2 QB Josh Johnson was Active-DNP at Baltimore, as he was in Games 1-7 and 9. He has played in one game this season, Oct. 27 vs. the Jets, and did not attempt a pass

— 14 —

(Position by position, continued)

while rushing three-for-17 (5.7). He posted an 83.3 passer rating for the preseason, on 27-for-49 for 275 yards, with three TDs and one INT. Johnson finished preseason with an 11.9-yard rushing average (12-for-143). He joined the Bengals for 2013 as an unrestricted free agent. He has 28 games of NFL experience with five starts, having seen most of his action with Tampa Bay. Running backs: Rookie Giovani Bernard was questionable coming into the Baltimore game with a rib injury, but he was able to play and was quite effective. Bernard had by far the most offensive touches on the team (22), rushing 14-for-58 (4.1) and catching eight-for-37 for a TD. His eight receptions tied for the team lead, and his TD went for 18 yards on a screen pass. For the season, Bernard has rushed 95-for-419 (4.4) with four TDs and caught 38-for-304 for three TDs. He is tied for first on the team in TDs (seven), and he ranks second on the team in both yards from scrimmage (723) and receptions (38) BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed 9-for-36 (4.0) at Baltimore. He leads the team in rushing yards with 460 on 140 carries (3.3) and has three TDs. He has also caught two passes for nine yards. Cedric Peerman is the No. 3 back. He played on special teams at Baltimore. Peerman has rushed six-for-11 on the season, all against the N.Y. Jets, while remaining a special teams stalwart. After being inactive for the first nine contests, rookie Rex Burkhead made his NFL debut on special teams at Baltimore (no statistics). In preseason, Burkhead rushed 28-for-130 (4.6) with one TD and caught five passes for 39 yards in the preseason. Wide receivers: Bengals flagship WR A.J. Green notched his fifth consecutive 100-yard receiving game at Baltimore, catching eight-for-151 with a TD. It was his sixth 100-yard game of the season, setting a club record with six games to play. The five consecutive 100-yard receiving games is also a club record. His TD came on a 51-yard Hail Mary as time expired, a pass that was tipped up into the air twice. For the season, Green has caught 65-for-1013 with six TDs. He leads the NFL in receiving yards and ranks second in receptions. No. 2 receiver Mohamed Sanu started for the 10th straight game in the Baltimore contest and caught three-for-26. Sanu has caught 34-for-342 on the season, ranking third on the team in receptions and fourth in receiving yards. Marvin Jones was limited at Baltimore to one catch for two yards and one rush for seven yards, but Jones has caught 29-for-437 for seven TDs on the season. He set a club record with four-TD performance on Oct. 27 vs. the N.Y. Jets, and he is tied for the team lead in TDs while ranking second in receiving yards. Andrew Hawkins played in his second game of the season in the Baltimore contest. He did not have a catch, and fumbled a ball on a reverse, but he recovered his own miscue. He has one catch for 10 yards on the season. He missed Games 1-8 with an ankle injury. Third-year pro Dane Sanzenbacher played in his eighth game this season in the Baltimore contest, but did not have a catch. He has caught five-for-54 on the season, including a key catch in the final seconds on Oct. 20 at Detroit to help set up the winning field goal. Fifth-year pro Brandon Tate did not play on offense at Baltimore but served as the primary kickoff and punt returner. He has one catch for six yards on the season. Third-year pro Ryan Whalen was active and played on special teams at Baltimore. He has been active for four games and was a game-day inactive for the other six. He does not have a reception. Tight ends: After starting the first nine games, Jermaine Gresham was inactive for the Baltimore contest due to a groin injury. His status for Cleveland is uncertain. For the season, Gresham has caught 33-for-321 with one TD. He ranks fourth on the team in receptions and fifth in receiving yards. Tyler Eifert has started all 10 games this season, and he caught three-for-55 at Baltimore. His receiving yards total ranked second on the team and included a 40-yard reception in which he caught the ball near the sideline and was able to stay in bounds and run for roughly 25 yards after the catch. On the season, Eifert has caught 30-for-362 with one TD. He ranks third on the team in receiving yards and fifth in receptions. Alex Smith started his first game of the season at Baltimore as a second tight end in place of Gresham. He recorded his first catch of the season for three yards. He has played in all 10 games. H-back Orson Charles played limited offensive snaps and on special teams at Baltimore and had two special teams tackles. He has no offensive statistics on the season. Offensive linemen: The line’s most established position is OT, where 2012 season Pro Bowl OT Andrew Whitworth holds the No. 1 spot on the left side and re-signed free agent Andre Smith is No. 1 on the right. After missing the Oct. 31 Miami game due to a knee injury, Whitworth returned to action at Baltimore. He has started eight games at LOT this season. Whitworth also missed all four preseason games and the season opener while rehabbing from offseason knee surgery. Whitworth has been a durable performer over his career, playing every game in six of his seven previous pro seasons. Smith was a major Bengals re-signing for 2013, allowing the team to concentrate on other positions early in the draft. He has started Games 1-10 at ROT. He’s a solid pass

protector and has the ability to gain recognition as one of the league’s most powerful run-blockers. Cincinnati’s interior line first-teamers have all started Games 1-10. Kevin Zeitler has started every game for the Bengals at RG since joining the team last season as a first-round draft choice. Also starting every game last season was Clint Boling, at LG. A third-year player for 2013, Boling was a fourth-round Bengals draft choice in ’11. C Kyle Cook is back in a starting role to open a season after missing the first 12 games of last season with an ankle injury. Cook had entered 2012 with a streak of 50 consecutive Bengals starts. Sixth-year OT Anthony Collins played on special teams and was employed at a move-tight end in limited situations at Baltimore. Collins has started Games 1 and 9 at LOT in Whitworth’s absence. Collins has played in nine of the season’s first 10 games. G Mike Pollak, a sixth-year pro with 41 NFL starts, was active-DNP at Baltimore. He made his Bengals debut on Oct. 27 vs. the Jets and has played in Games 8-9. Signed during the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, Pollak was inactive the first six games while rehabbing from a knee injury, and he was active-DNP in Game 7. Back after a promising rookie season at C is Trevor Robinson, who played 13 games with seven starts in 2012. Robinson was active-DNP for Games 1-6 this season and has been inactive (coaches’ decision) for Games 7-10. G Tanner Hawkinson, a rookie fifth-round draft pick from Kansas, has been active-DNP for Games 1, 3 and 9 and inactive for Games 2 and 4-8 and 10. Defensive linemen: The Bengals defensive line became recognized last season as one of the NFL’s best, but has had to deal with a season-ending injury (ACL tear) to All-Pro DT Geno Atkins. Second-year pro Brandon Thompson has taken the place of Atkins as the starting DT. Thompson tied for the line lead at Baltimore with seven tackles, including one for a loss. He was also credited with one QB pressure by the coaches. On the season, Thompson has 33 tackles, with 1.5 sacks. Cincinnati’s other interior line starter is NT Domata Peko, a locker room leader who is back for his eighth season. Peko had five tackles at Baltimore, including one for a loss. On the season, Peko has 41 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two QB pressures. He led the line last season in tackles (80), his fourth time to lead in the last five seasons. At DE, the Bengals present their greatest sack potential in many years. Michael Johnson returns as the starting RDE after logging 11.5 sacks last season, second-most by a Bengal since 1983. He was designated as Cincinnati’s franchise player for 2013. Johnson had six tackles, including two for a loss, with a pass defensed and two QB pressures. For the season, Johnson has 42 tackles (second on line), 2.5 sacks, six passes defensed, a forced fumble and a team-high 23 QB pressures. At LDE, fourth-year pro Carlos Dunlap has hit 2013 on the heels of signing a five-year contract extension (through 2018). Dunlap had seven tackles (tied for line lead), two sacks, a forced fumble and a QB pressure at Baltimore. Dunlap had a nine-yard sack of Joe Flacco in the second quarter and an-eight yard sack and forced fumble recovered by the Bengals in the fourth. For the season. Dunlap has a line-leading 44 tackles, 6.0 sacks (tied for team lead), a team-leading four forced fumbles, four passes defensed, 16 QB pressures and is tied for the team-high in tackles-for-loss (five). Cincinnati’s talent at DE goes still further, as sixth-year pro Wallace Gilberry returns after posting 6.5 sacks and three fumble recoveries last season. Gilberry was a major pleasant surprise last season after being picked up in September as a free agent, and he has picked up where he left off last season. Gilberry had one tackle and one QB pressure at Baltimore. On the season he has 24 tackles, 4.0 sacks (third on team), a pass defensed and 12 QB pressures. Second-year DT Devon Still played in the first seven games, but he has been inactive for the last three due to an elbow injury. His status for Cleveland is undetermined. For the season, Still has five tackles and a pass defensed. Rookie DE Margus Hunt was active for his fourth game of the season at Baltimore, but he did not record any statistics. Hunt has played in Games 5 and 8-10, and has one tackle and two QB pressures. He was inactive (coaches’ decision) for Games 1-4 and 6-7. A native of the northern European country of Estonia, Hunt never played football until at Southern Methodist University, where he initially enrolled as a world-class track thrower. He blocked 17 kicks in his four-season SMU career, including an NCAA-record 10 field goals. DT Kheeston Randall was active-DNP at Baltimore, his first game on the Bengals roster. He was signed as a free agent on Nov. 5. Linebackers: WLB Vontaze Burfict led the team with 15 tackles at Baltimore, his seventh time in 10 games to either lead the team or share the team lead in tackles. He also had a pass defensed and a QB pressure. He leads the team with 128 tackles on the season, 51 ahead of his nearest competition. He had an interception on Sept. 8 at Chicago and has six passes defensed on the season, tops among the front seven. He also has one sack, five QB pressures and is tied for the team lead with five tackles-for-loss. Last year, he produced arguably the best rookie season in Bengals history by a college free agent, leading the team with 174 tackles. In 10 games this season, Burfict has led the team in tackles seven times, tied for the lead once, finished second once

and tied for second once. No. 1 MLB Rey Maualuga has been inactive the last two games with both a concussion and a knee injury suffered on Oct. 27 vs. the Jets. He is now recovered from the concussion, but due to the knee injury, his status for Cleveland is undetermined. Maualuga is second on the team with 77 tackles on the season. Maualuga re-signed with the Bengals for 2013 as an unrestricted free agent. He was second on the team last season in tackles (152). Vincent Rey, a third-year pro in 2013, started in place of Maualuga for the second consecutive game and had a second straight fine effort. Rey set career highs across the board with 13 tackles, including three for a loss, three sacks, three passes defensed and had his first career interception. He intercepted a Joe Flacco pass in the second quarter and returned it four yards. He also led the team with two special teams tackles.

The team has a major free agent addition in former Steeler James Harrison, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Harrison had one tackle, a fumble recovery and two QB pressures at Baltimore. He recovered a Flacco fumble at the 50-yard line, and it led to a Bengals TD. For the season, Harrison has 25 tackles, including four for-loss, 2.0 sacks, a fumble recovery and four QB pressures. One college free agent — Jayson DiManche of Northern Illinois — survived the roster cut to 53. DiManche has played in every game and is tied for the team lead with eight special teams tackles. He saw action on defense at Baltimore and recorded a tackle. He has three tackles on defense this season. Ninth-year pro Michael Boley, signed Oct. 1 as a free agent, has played Games 5-8 and saw his first action on defense in Game 8 vs. the Jets. Boley has been inactive the last two games due to a hamstring injury suffered vs. the Jets. First-year player J.K. Schaffer played in his second consecutive contest in the Baltimore game and saw his first career action on defense. Schaffer recorded three tackles on defense and had his first career special teams tackle. Schafer also played on special teams in Game 2 vs. Pittsburgh. He was on the practice squad for Games 1 and 3-8. Defensive backs: Terence Newman has started every game at LCB, and at Baltimore, he had five tackles (tying for secondary lead), an interception and two passes defensed. Newman intercepted a Joe Flacco pass in the fourth quarter, leading to a Bengals touchdown. On the season, Newman has 44 tackles (second in secondary), two INTs (tied for team lead), and a team-leading 12 passes defensed. Newman scored Cincinnati’s winning TD on Sept. 22 vs. Green Bay, as he ran 58 yards in the fourth quarter with a ball originally recovered but subsequently fumbled by the Bengals. Adam Jones has taken over the starting RCB job, following the Achilles injury that ended Leon Hall’s season on Oct. 20 at Detroit. At Baltimore, Jones had one tackle and two passes defensed. He has played in all 10 games this season (seven starts), and has 36 tackles, two interceptions (tied for team lead, one returned for a TD), nine passes defensed (second on team), a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries (tied for team lead). Starting FS Reggie Nelson had four tackles, including one for a loss at Baltimore. Nelson is tied for the team in fumble recoveries (two) and has 25 tackles on defense and four on special teams. He also has one sack, an INT, two passes defensed and three QB pressures. His one INT helped preserve the Game 2 victory over Pittsburgh. The top spot on the depth chart at SS is held by second-year pro George Iloka of Boise State, who had four tackles at Baltimore.

Iloka leads the secondary with 46 tackles on the season, and he has four passes defensed and a forced fumble. Eleventh-year pro Chris Crocker re-joined the Bengals as a free agent on Sept. 25 and has played in the last seven games (two starts).

Nugent has made two game winning FGs on the season. a 54-yarder at the fourth-quarter gun on Oct. 20 at Detroit and a 43-yarder in overtime on Oct. 13 at Buffalo. Nugent is 13-for-17 on the season on FGs and 27-for-28 on PATs, having had a PAT blocked vs. Green Bay due to a protection breakdown. In 2011, Nugent set club records for field goals (33) and points (132), and in 2012 he tied the Bengals record for longest field goal, with a 55-yarder. He re-signed with Cincinnati this past offseason as an unrestricted free agent. On 49 kickoffs this season, Nugent has reached the end zone 43 times, with 20 going for touchbacks.

2013 GAME SUMMARIES

WEEK 1, GAME 1 Chicago Bears 24, Cincinnati Bengals 21

Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013 at Soldier Field The Bengals were on the wrong end of the seesaw at the conclusion of their season opener. Cincinnati rose to a 21-10 third-quarter lead after trailing 7-0, but the Bears came back to get the last two scores on TD drives of 80 yards in the third quarter and 81 yards in the fourth. The Bengals lost after leading through three quarters for only the 13th time in 75 opponent opportunities under head coach Marvin Lewis. The Bengals were burdened by a minus-two turnover differential. Bengals WR A.J. Green had nine receptions for 162 yards and two TDs, and he also drew a 34-yard pass interference penalty. His yardage total was the highest in Bengals history for a receiver in a season opener. Bengals QB Andy Dalton posted a 97.2 passer rating, and would have topped 100 had one well-thrown ball not been deflected of Green’s hands for a Chicago INT.

WEEK 3, GAME 3 Cincinnati Bengals 34, Green Bay Packers 30

Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013 at Paul Brown Stadium In one of the wilder games of the Bengals’ 46-season annals, Cincinnati led 14-0, only to trail 30-14, only to come back for a four-point win. Cincinnati became the first NFL team since Dallas in 1999 (at Washington) to give up 30 or more unanswered points in a contest and win. The Packers appeared close to holding on for a victory near the four-minute mark of the fourth quarter, when they led 30-27 and gained an apparent first down at the Cincinnati 29-yard line. But Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis challenged the play, and a reversal put Green Bay facing fourth-and-one at the 30. On fourth-and-one, not only was RB Johnathan Franklin stopped for no gain by DE Michael Johnson, Johnson forced a fumble that S Reggie Nelson returned six yards to the 35. Then Nelson fumbled, hit by TE Andrew Quarless, but Bengals CB Terence Newman recovered at the Cincinnati 42 and ran 58 yards untouched to the end zone. The Packers drove to a first down at the Cincinnati 25 with 1:40 remaining, but Packers QB Aaron Rodgers managed only a five-yard completion and three incompletions on the next four plays. The Bengals improved to 2-1, while Green Bay fell to 1-2.

WEEK 4, GAME 4 Cleveland Browns 17, Cincinnati Bengals 6

Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013 at FirstEnergy Stadium The Bengals gave up a 12-play, 95-yard TD drive to the Browns in the first quarter and trailed the rest of the way. They failed to score a TD for the first time since Game 3 of 2011. Cincinnati appeared on the verge of taking a 10-7 lead with just over six minutes left in the second quarter, enjoying a first down at the Cleveland 16-yard line, but the Browns forced a fourth-down-and-one try from their seven and stuffed HB BenJarvus Green-Ellis for a two-yard loss. The play was emblematic of missed Bengals opportunities, as Cincinnati converted only one of three fourth-down tries and four of 14 on third down. The Browns were the team that made plays when it counted most, hitting a more than respectable 50 percent on third-down tries (nine-of-18) and outgaining Cincinnati 336-266 in net yards. The Browns, who had the usually crucial edge in turnover differential (plus-two), put the game on ice with a 91-yard TD drive in the fourth quarter. Both teams exited the contest, the 80th renewal of the “Battle of Ohio,” with 2-2 records.

WEEK 5, GAME 5 Cincinnati Bengals 13, New England Patriots 6

Sunday, Oct. 6, 2013 at Paul Brown Stadium The Bengals’ defense took the starring role as Cincinnati knocked off an unbeaten New England team. The Patriots were limited to 248 net yards and converted just one of 12 third downs. New England failed to score a TD for the first time in 67 games, and QB Tom Brady was held without a TD pass for the first time in 53 games. The Patriots threatened late for a tying TD, gaining a first down at the Cincinnati 27 with 26 seconds left, but CB Adam Jones, starting in place of injured CB Leon Hall, made an acrobatic INT at the Bengals’ three-yard line to ice the win. Cincinnati’s offense didn’t have big point production, but the rushing game totaled 162 yards, and the offense drove 93 yards for the game’s only TD on a 14-play march spanning the third and fourth quarters. The big play of the drive was a 28-yard pass from QB Andy Dalton to WR Marvin Jones on a third-and-15 play from the Bengals’ two-yard line. The Bengals converted two more third downs on the drive, and they scored the TD on a rush by HB BenJarvus Green-Ellis on fourth-and-goal from the one. The Bengals improved to 3-2 on the season, staying in a tie with Baltimore and Cleveland for the AFC North Division lead. The Patriots fell to 4-1.

WEEK 6, GAME 6 Cincinnati Bengals 27, Buffalo Bills 24 (OT)

Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013 at Ralph Wilson Stadium After the Bengals squandered a 14-point lead after three quarters, K Mike Nugent’s 43-yard FG with 6:44 remaining in OT lifted Cincinnati to victory. Cincinnati seemed on the verge of going ahead 27-10 or even 31-10 late in the third quarter after moving to a first down at the Buffalo six-yard line. But the Bills turned the Bengals away with a missed FG and then tied the score at 24-all on a pair of fourth-quarter TD passes by QB Thad Lewis, who was playing in only his second NFL game. A 29-yard punt return in OT by WR Brandon Tate put the Bengals at the Buffalo 33, and the Bengals ran three rushing plays for eight yards before bringing on Nugent for the game-winning kick. Cincinnati rolled for 483 yards of net offense, with three players reaching 100 yards from scrimmage — WR Marvin Jones (105), WR A.J. Green (103) and HB Giovani Bernard (100). QB Andy Dalton connected on 26 of 40 passes for 337 yards, three TDs and one INT (105.9 passer rating), earning AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. The Bengals broke a six-game losing streak at Buffalo, winning there for the first time since 1985. Cincinnati improved to 4-2 and took sole possession of first place in the AFC North Division. The Bills fell to 2-4.

WEEK 7, GAME 7 Cincinnati Bengals 27, Detroit Lions 24

Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013 at Ford Field For the second straight week on the road, the Bengals ended a victory with a FG by K Mike Nugent. At Detroit, the offense used two short pass completions in the waning seconds to put the ball at the Lions’ 36-yard line with four seconds left, and Nugent responded with a 54-yarder. It was one yard short of the two FGs tied for longest in Bengals history — both 55-yarders, by Nugent in 2012 and former K Chris Bahr in 1979 — and it tied for the longest game-ending FG in franchise history (former K Doug Pelfrey also had a 54-yard game winner in ’95). The special teams were instrumental in setting up Nugent’s winning kick. Late in the fourth quarter, P Kevin Huber pinned the Lions at their six-yard line with a 45-yard punt, and after the defense forced a Lions punt, Detroit P Sam Martin managed only a 28-yarder to the Cincinnati 49, giving the Bengals’ offense the chance to quickly move into position for Nugent. Nugent’s kick ended a back-and-forth contest that saw the Bengals lead 7-0, trail 10-7, lead 21-10 and then allow the Lions to tie 24-24. QB Andy Dalton completed 24 of 34 passes for 372 yards, three TDs and no INTs to post a career-high 135.9 passer rating. WR A.J. Green had 155 yards on six receptions, including a career-long catch of 82 yards for a TD. The Bengals improved to 5-2 and took a two-game lead in the AFC North Division race. The Lions fell to 4-3.

WEEK 8, GAME 8 Cincinnati Bengals 49, N.Y. Jets 9

Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013 at Paul Brown Stadium WR Marvin Jones posted a Bengals-record four receiving TDs and QB Andy Dalton threw for a career-best five as the Bengals posted the fourth-largest winning margin in franchise history. The Bengals scored on their first two possessions for a 14-0 lead. They also scored on their last two possessions of the first half for a 28-6 advantage at intermission. Two of Cincinnati’s three second-half TDs half came on INT returns — one each by S Chris Crocker and CB Adam Jones — and it marked the first time since Dec. 16, 1984 vs. Buffalo that Cincinnati had logged two pick-sixes in the same game. Elias Sports Bureau confirmed that the game was the first one in NFL history with a 49-9 final score. The Bengals improved to 6-2 and took a two-and-one-half game lead in the AFC North Division. The Jets fell to 4-4.

WEEK 9, GAME 9 Miami Dolphins 22, Cincinnati Bengals 20 (OT)

Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013 at Sun Life Stadium The Bengals entered the Halloween night Thursday game with four straight wins, and Miami entered with four straight losses. But despite a valiant second-half comeback, turning a 17-3 deficit into a 20-17 lead, Cincinnati wound up on the losing end of only the third OT game in NFL history to be decided by a safety. After K Mike Nugent put the Bengals ahead 20-17 with a 54-yard FG with 1:24 left, the Dolphins tied the score with 11 seconds remaining on a 44-yarder by K Caleb Sturgis. Each team had the ball twice in OT, but Cincinnati’s second possession ended when Dolphins DE Cameron Wake sacked QB Andy Dalton just over the goal-line for an eight-yard loss. Bengals WR A.J. Green had a career-best 11 catches, and his 128 receiving yards marked his fourth straight at 100 or more, tying the franchise record set by Carl Pickens in 1994. Dalton set a Bengals record with his fourth straight game of 300 or more passing yards (338). The Bengals dropped to 6-3 on the season, but when the season’s Week 9 concluded, they still led the AFC North by two games over Cleveland. The Dolphins improved to 4-4.

WEEK 10, GAME 10 Baltimore Ravens 20, Cincinnati Bengals 17 (OT)

Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013 at M&T Bank Stadium As the regulation time clock ran out, the Bengals tied the game in spectacular fashion — on a 51-yard Hail Mary pass by QB Andy Dalton that was tipped once by each team before falling into WR A.J. Green’s hands in the end zone. But in OT, the opening possession saw the Bengals give up the ball on downs at the Ravens’ 44-yard line, and Baltimore drove 28 yards in seven plays to set up a 46-yard FG by K Justin Tucker. The Bengals rallied from at 17-0 halftime deficit. Cincinnati, which played consecutive OT games for the first time in franchise history, lost its previous outing in OT at Miami. The Baltimore game was the third OT game of the season for the Bengals, most in club history. Green’s 151-yard receiving day gave him sole possession of two club records — most 100-yard receiving games in a season (six) and most consecutive 100-yard receiving games (five). The Bengals nearly doubled Baltimore in net yards from scrimmage (364 to 189), but Cincinnati drew nine penalties for a club-record 134 yards. The Bengals fell to 6-4, but still remained in first place in the AFC North, one-and-one-half games ahead of both Baltimore (4-5) and Cleveland (4-5).
