Bengals Blow Out Rams, 31-7

“Come to practice, watch this team play, and ask any other opponent or opposing coach, it’s not an effort issue”. If he’s completely cleared, and if he feels good, he’ll start. “We had a little bit of a setback there, but we’re going to use the setback to set up something good”. Four questions, and then exit, stage right. The Bengals added 1o more plays to the stalled march and moved to the St. Louis 3-yard line.

( KTRS ) An NFL insider say Rams wide receiver, Stedman Bailey, has been shot while in South Florida.

With quarterback Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers playing on Thursday, inside linebacker Karlos Dansby of the Cleveland Browns not playing until Monday night and offensive tackle King Dunlap of the San Diego Chargers, guard Ben Grubbs of the Kansas City Chiefs and defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks of the Jacksonville Jaguars on the shelf with injuries, Auburn didn’t make much of an impact on the National Football League on Sunday. The most costly of his three interceptions came when he avoided the rush and floated a pass that Hall picked off and returned 19 yards for a touchdown. He threw three interceptions while the Bengals pressured him 12 times.

The Rams keep falling and they can’t get up. Tavon Austin burned Cincinnati for 60 yards as he took a toss from Todd Gurley.

Gurley had 66 yards with a 2.6-yard average last week, with a long carry of only 7 yards against the Ravens.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Alex Smith threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, Spencer Ware ran for 114 yards and a score, and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 30-22 on Sunday in a matchup of teams in the AFC wildcard race.

But that was it for Rams offensive highlights.

The Cincinnati Bengals free safety picked off Rams quarterback Nick Foles at the 5-yard line with 31 seconds left in the second quarter to save a potential score and preserve a 17-7 halftime lead.

Tyler Eifert completed an NFL-leading 12th touchdown catch, while the 4-7 Rams lost their fourth game on the spin.

The Rams (4-7) are last in the league in passing yards, one of the main reasons for their slump.

“We’re just trying to get right after these two stumbles we had”, defensive tackle Domata Peko said. He has to get the ball out of his hands really quick.

Fans were given an insight into coach, Gary Kubrick’s, game plan for the Bronco’s offense, as he took complete control of play calling last weekend.

By the end of the game Foles again found himself on the bench as Fisher called on rookie Sean Mannion to finish out the disheartening defeat. Since the start of the Green Bay game October 11, he has thrown as many touchdowns to the opposing team on “pick 6s” as touchdown passes (two). Fisher, before his hasty press conference exit, told reporters that Mannion isn’t ready for starter’s duty.

For his sake, hopefully Rams starting center Tim Barnes wasn’t the player making the comments to fuel the Bengals’ defense.
