Andy Dalton’s 3 TD passes lead Bengals over Rams 31-7
Ryan Tannehill was 33-of-58 for 351 passing yards, three touchdowns and an interception for the Dolphins. Bengals nose tackle Domata Peko observed during the week that Gurley has all the characteristics one would put into a running back when building one on a Madden video game. It was his sixth 100-yard game this season and helped the 8-3 Vikings reclaim a one-game lead over Green Bay for first in the NFC North. The Vikings’ defense kept Atlanta out of the end zone until Matt Ryan’s 1-yard touchdown pass to Nick Williams with 1:28 remaining.
Heading into NFL Week 12 action, the Cincinnati Bengals are set to face off against the St. Louis Rams.
Cornerback Lamarcus Joyner said, “It’s always a tough day at the office when you lose, but we still gotta lot to fight for”.
“We need to continue to be more consistent in the running game”, said coach Marvin Lewis. Those numbers are not going to get the job done for the Rams and they have to figure out ways to get the football into his hands earlier in the game and establish the ground game off the start.
Keyed by another stifling defensive performance, the Houston Texans stretched their winning streak to four games with a 24-6 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. On the offensive side, some things were tried in the running game.
“It was great”, Hawk said. “The key is the guards and the center have a plan on how to block him…” “We know we don’t have to be back there scrambling to find receivers”. I thought it’d be like a jump ball.
Jeremy Hill ran for a season-high 86 yards. “It’s good to get a win, and it’s good to get a win the way we did”.
The grinding in the interior allowed the skill guys to have their days. They’re working, but I think it’s reflected in our run game, with our interior run game. That pass completed a 14-play march that covered 80 yards and took over six minutes off the clock late in the fourth quarter.
“I was scrambling and trying to step up, make a play, and try to convert”, Foles said. Giovani Bernard received a handoff and rumbled 45 yards before having the ball stripped from behind.
Nick Foles threw three interceptions, one of which Leon Hall returned for a touchdown, and St. Louis dropped its fourth straight game on Sunday, 31-7 to the Cincinnati Bengals. “George made a good play, and I was just in the right place at the right time”. Oh yeah, he’s fast.
“After losing two in a row, you want to come out and get a win”, quarterback Andy Dalton said.
Eifert got a pinched nerve in his neck when his shoulder got scrambled on the play and he could have come back.
That’s not the way it was drawn up. It was his 21 career interception as a Bengal in his sixth season with the team, tying him for sixth with Tory James (2003-06) on the franchise’s all-time interceptions list.
While there could be an argument that Green’s first touchdown was to blame on Jenkins, it is not so cut and dry.
“It was some stuff on film”, Green said. “Andy just told me to get my eyes around and he’s going to give me a chance”.
