Dalton wins
Player of the Week in AFC
CINCINNATI- After picking apart the Giants’ secondary on Sunday,
Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has been named the AFC offensive player
of the week.
Dalton completed 21 of 30 passes for 199 yards, with four touchdowns
and no interceptions, as the Bengals dominated the Giants on the way to
an easy 31-13 win.
It’s been an up-and-down season for the Bengals, who are long shots to
return to the playoffs this season, but beating the Giants could signal
that Cincinnati is ready to turn its season around. It also bodes well
for the Bengals that their next five games are against teams — the
Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, Cowboys and Eagles — with losing records.

Can the Bengals make a run
CINCINNATI- It's still going to be a challenge for Cincinnati to make
the playoffs and become the first Bengals team in three decades to go
to the postseason in consecutive seasons.
Since 1990, only seven of 121 teams that have started 3-5 have reached
the postseason. But there's more optimism with the Bengals now at 4-5
and looking at a favorable schedule.
Over the next five weeks, the Bengals' opponents have a combined 15-40
record (.272) and none currently have a winning record:
Nov. 18 at Kansas City (1-8)
Nov. 25 vs. Oakland (3-6)
Dec. 2 at San Diego (4-5)
Dec. 9 vs. Dallas (4-5)
Dec. 13 at Philadelphia (3-6)
The Bengals trail the Steelers (6-3) by two games for the sixth and
final playoff spot in the AFC. What's going to hurt the Bengals is
their 2-5 conference mark, which is one of the top tiebreakers. Of the
10 teams in the AFC that have four or more wins, the Bengals are the
only one with five conference losses.
