National Football League week 11 open thread

With Andrew Whitworth leading, Bernard reached the two-yard line, where Jeremy Hill punched the football in for a touchdown to give Cincinnati a 14-7 lead.

Todd Gurley opened the scoring for St. Louis in the first quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run and when new starting quarterback Case Keenum hit Lance Kendricks with a 30-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter, thinks looked good for St. Louis.

Palmer started the final march after the Bengals rallied from a 10-point deficit to even things at 31 with just over a minute left by finding rookie J.J. Nelson for a 19-yard completion and following that with back-to-back hits to Larry Fitzgerald, one for 18 yards and another for 20.

Romo went 18 for 28 for 227 yards, and overcame two interceptions by throwing touchdown passes of 31 yards to Terrance Williams and 16 yards to Dez Bryant. Directing the NFL’s No.1-ranked offense in a season, Palmer is second to Tom Brady in touchdown passes (23) and quarterback rating (108). The Cardinals could see the same wariness in the Bengals’ defense, particularly one that now has a banged-up secondary. We’ll see. However the Cardinals are third in yardage defense and have given up just 92.8 rushing yards per game so far. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, it turned out to be too much time for Palmer and Co.

The Bengals will get the ball first to start the third quarter. The Cardinals are on a three-game winning streak, and quarterback Carson Palmer will try to get a win over his former team Sunday night. The Cardinals did not play well in the first half, but they came out with objective in the second half.

The penalty moved the ball from the 28 to the 14.

Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes for the Bengals, both to Tyler Eifert.

– Getting Chandler Catanzaro a game-winning kick for the first time (pictured below) will be helpful down the road. The Cardinals showed a simple single-high safety look and man coverage across the board.

The Bengals responded by driving 80 yards in 14 plays to pull ahead 14-7 with 1:17 left in the first half.

The Bengals have given up 13 sacks in the last four games. Nelson had 142 receiving yards and the Cardinals defense sacked Andy Dalton four times.

The Bengals were able to come back in the fourth, however, spurred on by another Hill TD and another Eifert score sandwiched around a field goal from Arizona.

For the first time all season, the linebackers receive the glory.

The Bengals have emerged as one of the NFL’s model organizations over the past half-decade. Dalton was 8 of 11 for 127 yards and a 141.1 passer rating, while Bernard had 71 yards on five receptions. “They were already in field goal range and we were just trying to make a play to win, they jump offside and I thought that would knock them out of field goal range”.

But there was still a loss to take away from it. The Bengals got home an hour before dawn with as many questions as answers. Jones didn’t practice all week due to a foot injury after coming out of Monday’s loss to Houston for a few plays with a shoulder injury…. He was replaced by CB Darqueze Dennard….

Following another well-timed three-and-out – and a massive stop on third-and-one – Cincinnati had two timeouts remaining with 2:45 remaining in the game. Floyd has a hamstring injury.

Nelson was also called out for muted pizazz following his long score. Humphries and defensive tackle Cory Redding.
