Bengals star Chad OchoCinco said on his Twitter feed he’s going all out for Breast Cancer Awareness month. “I’ll be wearing all pink gloves, shoes and wrist bands in support of breast cancer awareness throughout the Month of October.” … “Oh and as for getting fined I probably will because my entire shoe is pink, [...]
It’s never been better to be wrong.
Cincinnati is still elated after a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback against the loathsome Steelers on Sunday in a game that truly typified the attitude of Marvin Lewis’ newest breed of Bengal. His teams of the past lacked the emotional wherewithal and intestinal fortitude to scrape themselves [...]
*Indicates third down.
**Indicates fourth down (and going for it)
FIRST QUARTER:
Opening kickoff returned to the 50.
False start.
Hand-off to Benson right side for nothing.
Hand-off to Benson left side for loss.
*Pass into coverage; batted down; nearly picked; risky decision.

Fight back. This was Marvin Lewis’ primary message to his charges during the offseason. For the embattled coach, it was more than a catch-phrase for the annual training camp T-shirt. It was the battle cry he wanted instilled in the DNA of a team that has been all to often beaten down.
Fight [...]

Antwan Odom: AFC Defensive Player of the Week
As expected by most league observers, especially commentator Ian Eagle, Bengals DE Antwan Odom was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after his five-sack, six-tackle performance against Green Bay. Odom’s impressive work helped seal the win for the Bengals, with two sacks that effectively knocked [...]
With two games in the books, the Bengals stand at 1-1. Their record could easily be 2-0 if not for some now infamous freakishly bad luck. They took the lead with under a minute to go at home, then went into Lambeau Field and manhandled the Pack. Neither game was especially pretty, but [...]
Marvin Lewis should feel more at ease with the team he has reassembled; it’s the kind he likes.
The Bengals caught Green Bay with a surprise left hook to the jaw on Sunday, leaving the Packers battered, bewildered and beaten on their own turf. The new program that Marvin now runs in [...]
On the bright side, the Bengals won a game Sunday that just about no one thought they would win. On a down note, how nice would it be to be 2-0 right now and tied with the Ravens for the lead in the AFC North? Oh well, there’s nothing you can do about [...]
The last time I remember the Bengals playing a regular season game at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre made his Packer debut and led Green Bay to a fourth-quarter comeback win. It was early in the season, the Bengals were 2-0, the Packers were winless, Cincinnati was up 17-3 in the third quarter, the meltdown ensued [...]
