Bengals lead Rams at half
Dalton completed 20-of-27 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns with one interception as the Bengals stopped a two-game losing streak to improve to 9-2 for the 2015 season.
By contrast, when the National Football League made its announcement of the London games on Wednesday, the operator of the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis responded by saying it would violate the Rams’ lease agreement to host the game overseas. “We’ve got bigger goals around here than for me to worry about individual stats, so we just have to continue to grind as a team and let things take care of themselves”. “It’s good to get a win, and it’s good to get a win the way we did”.
“Promptly after the conclusion of yesterday’s game, we began a review to determine the facts of the injury to St. Louis quarterback Case Keenum and why he was not removed from the game for the necessary evaluation by a team physician or the unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant as required by our concussion protocols”.
Said Fisher, “When you’re rotating guys in and out and counting on guys and developing players and they go down, it’s hard to overcome”.
The Bengals have limited opponents to 10 points or less in four of the last five games.
The Bengals lost to the Cardinals 34-31 last week, but there is still plenty to be optimistic about in Cincy.
“We need to stick to our identity”, defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. “Foles said.” It’s one of those things where it’s just a bump in the road and you learn.
The Bengals opened the season with eight consecutive victories but have dropped two in a row following a last-second defeat at Arizona on Sunday night.
Cincinnati were really impressive in their first six games before their bye week, and their rest period did not seem to slow them down as they defeated the Steelers and Cleveland Browns on their way back.
Dalton hit Green for 18 yards and a score on the next play.
Eifert had three catches for 40 yards, including his 12th touchdown of the year, before getting hurt on Sunday. Jeremy Hill, who has had a rough season to date, rushed for 86 yards on 16 carries. Keenum’s head slammed into the turf on the Rams’ final drive and immediately held his head following the play.
St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher has never been a cuddly dude, as he has brought salty to a new level. While he completed 30 of 46 passes, he passed for only 228 yards, an average of 7.6 yard per completion.
With the Rams trailing 17-7 at halftime, the offense was forced to abandon the run quickly in the third quarter.
-RUSHING OFFENSE: D – The only positive was a 60-yard run by WR Tavon Austin and a 5-yard touchdown run by Austin.
Austin had a team-high 63 yards on four runs. He has caught 43 passes for 482 yards and an impressive 11 touchdowns. St. Louis is second to last in the league in total yards, and last in yards passing.
There was more self-destruction by the Rams.
“Probably one of my easiest touchdowns ever”, Green said. Keenum was inactive for the Rams’ next game, so the concussion was serious enough for him to miss time but not serious enough for him to come out of the game for proper evaluation.
