Bengals get McCarron ready for extended run as QB

Turns out even the service people here wanted a little Steelers blood Sunday.

Considering all that, there’s a decent chance the Steelers and Bengals will meet in Cincinnati in the first round of the playoffs. Before the opening kickoff, Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict walked over to Vince Williams of the Steelers during warmups and a scrum ensued.

“Child’s play”, defensive end Cam Heyward said. We understand they’re a top-five scoring defense, so we understand they’re not going to make scoring easy. “It’s a football game”. The team we have and my job at task.

“We’re the ones who do the intimidation”.

Is that what happened Sunday?

It might be Pittsburgh, the team that just turned two McCarron turnovers into 14 points. With the Texans and Bills losing, it puts them with the Raiders as the teams clinging for dear life for a postseason berth. They dominated from start to finish. “Hopefully, we can get Tyler Eifert back”.

“Basically we’ll go week to week with things”, coach Marvin Lewis said. “You don’t play football with your doggone mouth”. “You have to embrace the situation. love it (to take Dalton’s spot)”.

“Andy Dalton has to return with strength in his right hand with manageable pain to be able to perform”, said Adickes, a medical expert for ESPN. That way, he’ll have a full week of practice under his belt with the Bengals, in case McCarron gets injured and the new quarterback has to play in Sunday’s game in San Francisco.

Newton also threw a 4-yard TD pass to Ed Dickson in the final seconds of the first half before leaving for good at the end of the third quarter, and the Panthers won their 17th straight regular-season game. Shields had an interception in the end zone to stop a Cowboys drive in the first quarter. He punted twice for 98 yards and had one downed at the Bengals’ 2-yard line.

Trattou has been active for two games for the Vikings this season. “This team will stick together, I know that”. Dalton tried to make the tackle on Tuitt and his thumb slammed into the big man’s shin. “I just want it to be fair as possible”. I’ve got some good hands. “I ended up making the play. Maybe the coaches will see that and we’ll go from there”.

The Bengals are all but basically in the playoffs with their current 10-3 record.

Stephon Tuitt set the tone when he anticipated a screen to Giovanni Bernard with the Bengals on the doorstep of a score on their first possession. Heyward is a star.

There are mistakes to correct, to be sure.

REDSKINS 24, BEARS 21 (at Chicago) – Kirk Cousins threw for 300 yards and a touchdown and Washington hung on to beat Chicago (5-8) after Robbie Gould missed a late 50-yard field goal.

“It’s crunch time”, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said.

Steelers offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert and guard Ramon Foster were particularly vocal with their feelings. “It’s not like we’re No. 1 in the AFC”. He had an appointment with a specialist on Monday to get a better idea of how long he’ll be out. When McCarron entered the league he received a draft grade indicative of a player who could be an adequate starter.
