The Bengals have scored a sweep of the AFC North for the first time in franchise history, and now you can get in on the action with the great new shirt from our friends at Smack Apparel! The shirt, as you can see, reads – “Clean Sweep” on the front, and on the back reads [...]

The last time the Bengals played the Browns, they were taken to overtime. Sunday in Cincy, the fight was there again, but this time the Bengals made sure to put the Browns away before the end of four quarters, walking away with a 16-7 win. The Bengals controlled the day with a punshing [...]

The Bengals lost in Oakland last week and are looking to rebound tomorrow, but according to the Cincy Enquirer, may or may not be doing it without the services of RB Cedric Benson:
Bengals running back Cedric Benson and defensive tackle Domata Peko said before Friday’s practice that they felt they’d be on the field for [...]

And as luck would have it, they on Sunday would have to host the Cincinnati Bengals over at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The Bengals’ rushing attack was better than expected and their run defense stopped the Raiders, for [...]

It seems too easy to pile on Al Davis and the Oakland Raider Asylum; that bit has done before, so we’ll just skip it altogether.
Instead, the focus this week for the Bengals is preparing for the best thing the Raiders have going for them: their location.
Every week it seems [...]

It is looking very unlikely that Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson will suit up Sunday against the Oakland Raiders after missing practice again due to a hip injury. Assuming that is the case, recently signed RB Larry Johnson should see an increased workload.

There is a luxury suite on the top floor that overlooks the AFC North. It’s shiny and comfortable and smells like the Playoffs. After milling about their new digs for a while, the Bengals put their feet up on the glass table, lean back and smile to themselves. This is [...]
