:banger: 5 sacks for Antwan Odom in this game

Palmer looked a bit better (minus the 2 picks)

Ced running strong

big road win after last weeks loss and the Steelers coming next week

Antwan Odom has been an absolute nightmare for the two offensive lines he has faced. The sky is the limit for him this season, as this D-line looks better than ever. Plus they have a much improved LB group to help with the blitz. Also doesn't hurt having Williams in the secondary haunting QB's with his speed on blitzes! I love the way this D is playing. The one thing they could definitely improve on is creating more turnovers.

Williams almost decapitated a Packers WR during the next to last drive. The Bengals D is straight nasty this year, and Joseph/Hall are coming into their own as quality cover CBs. Everyone-media and fans included-kinda forgot about Odom after he hurt himself in the pre-season last year.

With the Chargers and Broncos (ouch) fighting it out in the west and the Patriots and Jets fighting it out in the east, the Bengals can ill afford to not beat the Jets and Chargers (both road games) when they play them. Personally, I think the Bengals are going to have to win the division to get in...the AFC is too stacked, in my opinion.

The Bengals? Hear 'em roar -- latimes.com
The Cincinnati Bengals once felt like this season's unluckiest team.

Now, they're feeling like one of the best.

For the third time in three weeks, the Bengals pulled off a last-minute victory Sunday, winning at Baltimore, 17-14, to claim first place in the AFC North.

The Bengals are 4-1 for the first time since 2006, and they would be 5-0 if not for Denver's fluke touchdown off a deflection in the opener.

The winning touchdown Sunday came with 22 seconds left, when Carson Palmer hit Andre Caldwell on a 20-yard slant.

Palmer, the 2002 Heisman Trophy winner from USC, kept that drive alive with a six-yard scramble on fourth and one. He did the same thing a week earlier against Cleveland, tucking the ball and running in a now-or-never situation.

"They believe they can win, no matter what the circumstances are," Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis said of his team.

"We keep talking about that. Don't worry about it, don't flinch, keep playing."

Cincinnati's victories are anything but "cheapies." The Bengals beat Green Bay at Lambeau Field, knocked off the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers and picked up a tough road victory in Baltimore against a team that swept them last season.

The pivotal player has been the cool-headed Palmer, who seemed completely at ease as he directed the winning drive.

"That was Carson in the huddle, being very confident, being very sound, keeping everybody calm," receiver Chad Ochocinco said. "When he talks the way he does in that huddle, with that confidence and that swagger like that, there's no doubt that we're going to go down and score."

The victory was especially meaningful to the Bengals, heavy-hearted in the wake of Vikki Zimmer's death. She's the wife of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, and she died unexpectedly Thursday. Zimmer coached Sunday and, in the emotional aftermath, was presented the game ball.

Bengals short of sellout vs. Texans

The Cincinnati Bengals, in first place in the AFC North and one of the NFL's biggest surprises with a 4-1 record, are facing a blackout for Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans.
According to the Bengals, they will need "a significant increase" in the pace of ticket sales this week to avoid being blacked out.
By league rule, if Sunday's 1 p.m. ET game is not sold out by Thursday afternoon, home television markets in the Cincinnati area will not be able to show the broadcast of the Bengals, who are on a four-game winning streak. The Texans are 2-3.

The Bengals have just announced that they have terminated the contract of long snapper Brad St. Louis,. who's been the weak link in several games so far this season.

They have signed as his replacement, Clark Harris of Rutgers, who played in the last four games of the 2008 season for the Houston Texans. He was a 7th round draft pick of the Packers in Green Bay but spent most of that season on their practice squad.

Brad St. Louis spent his entire career with Cincinnati after being a 7th round draft pick in 2000. His reliability has been deteriorating since late last season and has hit bottom this year with repeatedly off the mark snaps on place kicks, costing them a potential 12 points.

Child, Please! Ochocinco Helps Bengals Avoid Blackout -- NFL FanHouse
CINCINNATI -- Chad Ochocinco is taking some of the credit for the fact that Bengals fans in this area will be able to see the team play on TV on Sunday, and it appears he does have something to do with it. On Thursday the Bengals asked for (and got) a one-day extension of the league's deadline for selling out Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans. Had they not done so by Friday afternoon, the game would have been blacked out in the local market. And as of Thursday night, about 3,000 tickets remained unsold.

But at 1:08 p.m. Eastern time, Ochocinco announced on his Twitter page that he and Motorola had bought the remaining tickets and would be giving them away. Problem solved.

"Attention: On behalf of Motorola and Esteban Ocho Cinco we've purchased the remaining tickets for Sundays game= no blackout" the announcement read. It was followed by a tweet that told followers to "stay tuned" to find out how to get the tickets. Four minutes later came this:

"Again there will be no blackout this Sunday, special thanks to Motorola and The Interesting One"

He does keep things interesting, and for a while this seemed as if it were just Ocho being Ocho. But the Bengals release announcing the sellout confirms their star receiver's involvement. It appears he aided in the purchase of 1,200 of the remaining tickets.

"Motorola will give away 1,200 tickets (600 pairs of tickets) to Bengals fans for free, starting at 11:30 am Saturday at the North Ticket Office at Paul Brown Stadium," the release reads. "Motorola is a long-time sponsor of the Bengals and has a newly aligned partnership with Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco."

Ochocinco has recently been using his Twitter account as a way to give away things to fans. He's met people out for dinner at local restaurants, and later Friday night he's offering free tickets to the first 40 people to join him at a showing of "Law Abiding Citizen" at an area movie theater.

Earlier in the day, when Ocho was speaking about the way in which he's using Twitter to distribute free stuff, a Cincinnati reporter asked him for a quote about it. As expected, he delivered one:

"Oprah who?" he said.

Bengals' Uniforms No Longer Look Stupid Now That Team Is Good
BRISTOL, CT?By wearing their brightly colored orange-and-black tiger-print uniforms during a victory over the Steelers, the division-leading 7-2 Cincinnati Bengals made their team gear appear far less stupid Sunday. "The Bengals uniforms during the '90s, and the ones from their 11-loss season in 2008, looked really stupid, like they were wearing carpet ripped straight out of a discount strip club," analyst Chris Mortenson said during an ESPN radio broadcast Monday. "But now that they're on top of the AFC North, you might even go so far as to say that their uniforms are classic. I'm even starting to think that the one dumb striped panel going down the leg isn't so godawful anymore." When discussing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' current red-and-pewter jerseys versus their old orange-and-white uniforms, however, Mortenson concluded that, in either version, the team "has always looked like [censored]."
