AT PAUL BROWN STADIUM

NEXT WEEK: WEEK 6, GAME 6 OCT. 14 AT CLEVELAND

GAME NOTES

Kickoff: 1 p.m. EDT. Television: CBS broadcast with Marv Albert (play-by-play) and Rich Gannon (analyst). If the game is a sellout by 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, it will air live in the Bengals home market on WKRC-TV (Channel 12) in Cincinnati, WHIO-TV (Channel 7) in Dayton and WKYT-TV (Channel 27) in Lexington, Ky. Radio: Coverage on the Bengals Radio Network, led by Cincinnati flagship stations WCKY-AM (ESPN 1530; all sports) and WEBN-FM (102.7). Broadcasters are Dan Hoard (play-by-play) and Dave Lapham (analyst). Setting the scene: Standing at 3-1 for the first time in franchise history when three of the first four games have been on the road, the Bengals this week begin a run which will see four of five games at Paul Brown Stadium. This week’s foe is Miami, which took unbeaten Arizona into overtime on the road before losing last week. It was the second straight game the Dolphins lost by three in overtime. Historically, the Dolphins have been the toughest AFC franchise for Cincinnati to defeat, and Miami brings the NFL’s No. 1 rushing defense, allowing only 56.8 yards per game. But all good things were seeming possible in an upbeat Bengals locker room after last week’s 27-10 win at Jacksonville. “This is how it’s supposed to feel,” head coach Marvin Lewis told the team. “As hard as you work every week, every day, this is how it’s all supposed to come together. You play together as a team, fight through the rough spots, of which there always will be some, and you win in all three phases.” Against the Jaguars, those “phases” included: ● The best of Cincinnati’s best duo on offense. QB Andy Dalton and WR A.J. Green connected six times for 117 yards and a TD, and their play was even better than those numbers, as the duo made several big plays on which Green got the one step he needs and Dalton threaded the needle against decent-but-not-good-enough coverage. ● A revival by a defense that entered the game allowing 416.7 yards per outing. Jacksonville gained only 212, the fewest allowed by Cincinnati since the 2010 season finale, and Jacksonville’s 10 points were the fewest by a Cincinnati opponent since Game 3 of 2010 (20-7 win at Carolina). “We got back to having fun out there again,” said NT Domata Peko, who had one of Cincinnati’s six sacks. “We were playing with a chip on our shoulder, because things hadn’t gone all that good lately. But when you can get after the passer and stop the run, you’re going to win a lot of games.” ● A huge tone-changer of a play by the special teams. In the second quarter, with Cincinnati trailing 7-3 and apparently ready to give the ball back to the Jaguars, upback Cedric Peerman took a direct snap in punt formation and raced 48 yards to the Jacksonville 18. Four plays later, the Bengals led 10-7, not to trail again. “I didn’t know we were doing that,” Dalton said of the fake. “I was heading to the bench to get something to drink, and the next thing I knew we were running down the sideline.” The Bengals appeared vulnerable on defense heading into the game, with four cornerbacks on the 53-player roster unable to play due to injuries. But Jacksonville managed to go only two-for-11 on third down and net 143 yards passing. Veteran S Chris Crocker, signed only the Wednesday before the game in an attempt to bolster the secondary, snuffed the Jaguars’ last ray of comeback hope with a fourth-quarter interception as the Bengals continued to show a roster where big plays are coming from many areas. Asked if this team has the “deepest” roster of any of his 10 Bengals clubs,

Lewis replied: “I believe it’s the best group we’ve had of guys who can make football plays, guys who understand the game. And you have to credit the assistant coaches for getting them all ready to play. A lot of guys who were not necessarily supposed to be in the thick of things have been playing a lot of football for us — Crocker for example, and a lot of young guys. Looking at the 46 we had active (at Jacksonville), you don’t get a whole lot younger than that.” After Miami, the Bengals make a trip to Cleveland, and then — with a bye thrown in — come consecutive home games against Pittsburgh, Denver, and the defending champion N.Y. Giants. “We had a good September,” said Lewis, whose club has won three straight since an opening loss at Baltimore. “Now let’s have an even better October. To get where we want to be, we’ve got to keep getting better every day.” The series: The Bengals have won two of their last three against Miami, but the Dolphins have been the second-toughest opponent the Bengals have encountered in their 45-year history. Miami leads the series 14-5, including one postseason game, and Miami’s .737 winning percentage against the Bengals is second only to .786 by San Francisco (11-3 record). Miami won the last meeting, 22-14 at Paul Brown Stadium 2010. The Bengals had recent wins at Miami in 2007 and at home in ’04. Miami leads 8-3 as the road team, including 2-1 at Paul Brown Stadium. The one playoff game in series history was an AFC Divisional contest which resulted in a Dolphins victory, 34-16, at the Orange Bowl in 1973. Complete Bengals-Dolphins series results are on page 181 of the Bengals 2012 media guide. Team bests from the series: Bengals — MOST POINTS: 38 (twice), most recently in a 38-25 victory at Miami in 2007. LARGEST VICTORY MARGIN: 17, from a 38-21 victory at Miami in 1968. FEWEST POINTS ALLOWED: 13, in a 16-13 Cincinnati win at Paul Brown Stadium in 2004. Dolphins — MOST POINTS: 38, in a 38-14 victory at Miami in 1983. LARGEST VICTORY MARGIN: 24 (twice), most recently in a 37-13 win at Miami in 1991. FEWEST POINTS ALLOWED: 0, in a 21-0 victory in 1978. The last meetings: Summaries of the last two Bengals-Dolphins meetings — in 2007 at Miami and in ’10 at Cincinnati — are on page 12 of this news release. Top two pass gainers on display: This week’s game will feature the NFL’s 1-2 players in receiving yards. Miami’s Brian Hartline, a fourth-year pro from North Canton, Ohio, and Ohio State, is the league leader at 455 yards. Cincinnati’s A.J. Green is 27 yards back at 428. Hartline has 25 catches, an 18.2-yard average and one TD. Green has 27 catches, at 15.9 average and three TDs. Each player has had two 100-yard games. Hartline last week posted the current NFL high, getting 253 yards in an overtime loss at Miami. Hartline also had 111 vs. Oakland on Sept. 16. Green had a career-best 183 on Sept. 23 at Washington and came back with 117 last week at Jacksonville. Records vs. Dolphins: The Dolphins have set two opponent records against the Bengals. Mercury Morris made the longest-ever play against Cincinnati on Sept. 14,

1969 at Miami, when he returned a kickoff 105 yards for a TD. In the last meeting, Miami’s 22-14 win at Paul Brown Stadium in 2010, the Dolphins’ Dan Carpenter made five field goals (five attempts), tying a Cincinnati opponent record now shared by six players (including Matt Stover twice). Individually vs. Dolphins: Statistical leaders from the last Bengals-Dolphins game, in 2010, are included in the game summary on page 13 of this release. The Bengals and Dolphins also played in 2004 and ’07, but the only current Bengal with Cincinnati for all three games since ’04 is DE Robert Geathers, and he did not play in the ’04 game, inactive due to an injury. Geathers started both the ’07 and ’10 games. Besides Geathers, only four other current Bengals were with Cincinnati for the ’07 game. Leon Hall started that contest at CB, Domata Peko started at DT and Andrew Whitworth started at LG. C Kyle Cook, currently on Reserve/Injured, was on the Cincinnati practice squad in ’07.

THE HEAD COACHES Marvin Lewis is in his 10th season as Bengals head coach, having posted the most wins (69) in franchise history, and on July 31 of this year, he signed a contract extension through 2014. Under Lewis the Bengals are one of only 10 NFL teams to reach the playoffs in at least two of the last three years. Lewis’ Bengals were one of the NFL’s surprise teams in 2011, a young squad with new stars that posted a 9-7 record and earned a Wild Card playoff berth. Lewis was the consensus choice as NFL Coach of the Year in 2009, when the Bengals won the AFC North title while sweeping all six division games. Lewis also led Cincinnati to an AFC North title in 2005. Lewis’ record is 72-78-1, including postseason. On Oct. 23 of last season at Seattle, he passed Sam Wyche (64-68-0) for the most wins in club history. Lewis is also the Bengals’ leader in all-time head coaching tenure. The second-longest tenure is eight seasons, shared by Paul Brown (1968-75) and Wyche (1984-91). Lewis has risen to third in the NFL for longest current head coaching tenure with one team, trailing only Philadelphia’s Andy Reid (14th season in 2012) and New England’s Bill Belichick (13th). Lewis was named the ninth head coach in Bengals history on Jan. 14, 2003. In 2002, he directed the NFL’s fifth-ranked defense with Washington, serving as assistant head coach in addition to his role as defensive coordinator. Prior to his year with the Redskins, he was a record-setting defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. His six seasons (1996-2001) with the Ravens included a Super Bowl victory following the 2000 season. In the 2000 regular season, Lewis’ Baltimore defense set the NFL record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game campaign (165), and the 2000 Ravens are always included in discussions of the best single-season NFL defenses of all time.

Lewis entered the NFL as linebackers coach with Pittsburgh from 1993-95, guiding the careers of Pro Bowl selections Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland and Greg Lloyd. Born Sept. 23, 1958, in McDonald, Pa., near Pittsburgh, Lewis played linebacker at Idaho State and earned All-Big Sky Conference honors in each of his three seasons (‘78-80). He began his coaching career as an assistant at Idaho State University in 1981. Joe Philbin was named the ninth head coach in Dolphins history on Jan. 20 of this year. He came to Miami after serving as offensive coordinator with Green Bay from 2007-11. During all of Philbin’s tenure with Green Bay, the Packers ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in offensive yards and points scored. Philbin joined the Packers in 2003 as an assistant offensive line coach. He coached at seven colleges before coming to the NFL, beginning at Tulane (1984-85) and ending at Iowa (1999-2002). In between was a 1994 stop at Ohio University. Philbin is a native of Springfield, Mass. He played in college at Washington & Jefferson. Lewis vs. Dolphins: Lewis leads, 2-1, with victories in 2004 at Cincinnati and 2007 at Miami, and a loss in 2010 at Cincinnati. Lewis vs. Philbin: No previous meetings. Philbin vs. Bengals: No previous meetings.

BENGALS NOTES Could A.J. join Chad? Second-year Bengals WR A.J. Green enters the Miami game leading the conference in catches (27) and standing second in yards (428, a distance of 27 behind Miami’s Brian Hartline). At the season’s

quarter-pole, Green is positioned for a possible run at a Bengals feat achieved only once before — leading the AFC in both receptions and yards. The only instance of a Bengal leading both categories was in the AFC North

(Could A.J. join Chad?, continued)

championship season of 2005, when Chad Johnson had 97 catches and 1432 yards. Two other Bengals — Carl Pickens and T.J. Houshmandzadeh — have led the conference in catches, and a different pair — Isaac Curtis and Eddie Brown — have won AFC yards crowns. Johnson for his Bengals career won the one receptions title and four yardage titles. In the NFL, Green ranks tied for fifth in receptions and second behind Hartline in receiving yards. He has an AFC receptions lead of two over four players, including Miami’s Hartline, who are at 25. A.J. amazes once again: Last week at Jacksonville, WR A.J. Green’s 18-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter was important. It put the Bengals ahead 24-10. But style-wise, it was at best his fourth most-impressive grab of a six-for-117 day. He had gains of 42 and 30 yards while tight-roping the sideline a step ahead of coverage, the 42-yarder carrying to the one-yard line and setting up a second-quarter TD, and even that one wasn’t his best. His best was a 14-yarder across the middle, to the Jaguars six in the third quarter. One had to witness it to fully appreciate it, but on a ball thrown hard and just a bit ahead of him by QB Andy Dalton, he showed his exceptional ability to extend himself full-length, hand-catch the ball and come to the ground without jarring it loose. It looked rather like cartoons of a frog shooting out its tongue at great length to catch a fly. “You think you’ve seen about everything A.J. can do,” said Dalton, “and you’ve seen so much you don’t think twice about his ability, and then he’ll show you something new like that one.” Thus, Green’s AFC lead in receiving yards (see previous item) will not qualify as the most shocking statistical news of this early NFL season. Ever since the curtain was drawn down on Green’s 2011 rookie Pro Bowl season, Bengals fans have been salivating over what more he might do as an NFL sophomore. “He was a cut above most players in the league from the start,” says Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “He really was the most impressive rookie I’ve ever been around. Nothing A.J. does surprises the people who watch him every day, and we fully expected he would be even better this year. This is not a guy you worry about having a sophomore slump.” Indeed, those around the Bengals camp know that after a year’s pro experience, Green has come back for 2012 with greater maturity, focus and assurance. His rookie season accomplishments may someday seem just a small first step, but here’s a quick recap: ● Despite a knee injury that caused him to miss a game and a half, he led NFL rookies in receptions (65) and receiving yards (1057). The 1057 was a Bengals rookie record. ● He had 11 receptions of 35 or more yards, tied with Calvin Johnson and the N.Y. Giants’ Victor Cruz for most in the NFL. His total was the most by an NFL rookie since 1998. ● His four 100-yard receiving games set a Bengals rookie record. ● On Sept. 18 at Denver, Green hooked up with rookie QB Andy Dalton for 10 receptions. It stands as the only time in league annals that a rookie passing duo has hit double figures in completions. Look out, Chad: Chad Johnson owns the Bengals record book for receiving yards in a season. He has the top five totals, from 1274 to a club-record 1440 (set in 2007). He wiped out Eddie Brown, whose 1273 total from 1988 now stands sixth. But four games into this season, second-year star A.J. Green shows himself as a threat to Johnson’s dominance. With 428 yards, Green is on an early pace for 1712 yards. Green’s 27 receptions project to 108, which would rank second behind T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s 112 in ’07. Green has three TDs, projecting to 12, which would tie for second. The club’s season receiving TDs record has yet to be approached. Carl Pickens set the standard of 17 in 1995. Andy hangs in top five: Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton dipped just a bit in the NFL and AFC passer ratings last week, but he still ranks fifth in the league and third in the conference, with a season rating of 103.0. Dalton posted a 96.7 rating at Jacksonville last week. He started the season with a lowly 65.3 at Baltimore, but rallied to post consecutive career highs vs. Cleveland (128.2) and at Washington (132.9). Atlanta’s Matt Ryan leads the NFL rankings this week at 112.1, followed by Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger (109.2), Houston’s Matt Schaub (105.3) and Washington’s Robert Griffin III (103.2). Dalton ranks second in the NFL in average yards per attempt (8.82), tied for

fourth in TD passes (eight), seventh in completion percentage (67.5) and 10th in yards (1111). Dalton’s numbers at Jacksonville were 20-for-31 for 244-2-1. Fourth-quarter leader: Andy Dalton didn’t have great fourth-quarter passing numbers last week — the Bengals went ahead by 14 early in the period and so were not much in passing mode. But by completing two-of-five for 25 yards with one TD and no INTs, Dalton stayed atop the league rankings for fourth-quarter rating for a second straight week. His rating is now 151.7, on 20-for-27 (74.1 percent) for 313 yards with four TDs and no INTs. “It’s ‘crunch time,’ ” Dalton says of the fourth quarter. “You’ve got to be good and find ways to score and keep drives going, whether it be toward the end of the game or the four-minute drill, going to down to score to win the game. Just getting in the groove throughout the game. Hopefully it stays that way.” Andy handles adversity (again): Last week at Jacksonville, QB Andy Dalton didn’t have a good start. For the second game in a row, his first pass was intercepted. On Sept. 23 at Washington, LB Rob Jackson intercepted an attempted dump-off in the end zone for a TD. At Jacksonville, LB Kyle Bosworth intercepted at the Bengals 23, and an early scoring threat was averted only when Bosworth fumbled the ball back to Cincinnati. But Dalton quickly came back strongly in both games. He finished at Washington with a career-high passer rating of 132.9, and he finished a strong 96.7 at Jacksonville, with 244 yards and two TDs to make up for the one INT. “We know Andy is unflappable,” says head coach Marvin Lewis. “He continues to show that week in and week out. He really settles and plays. He may have a play that he’d want back, but he lets it go. He moves on to the next one, and that’s it. He understands it’s one play at a time. He has great personality and makeup that way. “He has confidence now. He knows he can do this. There is nothing that happens out there that he can’t handle. He’s a great leader. He did everything that was asked of him a year ago, and now he’s better. “ Says WR A.J. Green: “Andy doesn’t let anything get to him. He’s got ice in his veins. We don’t say anything to him when something goes bad, because we know he’s going from there and making the next play.” Bengals take NFL lead in sacks: After leading the AFC in sacks last week and ranking fourth in the NFL, the Bengals have taken over the league sacks lead through four games, with 17. Arizona is in second place with 16, and Chicago is third at 15. Houston and Cleveland are tied for second place in the AFC, with 13 each. Cincinnati has risen to the lead with six-sack performances each of the last two games, at Washington and at Jacksonville. The last time the Bengals had six or more sacks in consecutive games was Games 11-12 of 2001, with totals of six vs. Tampa Bay and eight vs. Jacksonville. The 2001 team set a club record with 48 sacks, but this year’s club is on an early pace to smash that, with 64. DT Geno Atkins is the Bengals sacks leader, with 5.0 after downing Blaine Gabbert twice last week at Jacksonville. DE Michael Johnson is second at 4.0. DE Carlos Dunlap has 2.0. Five other players have 1.0 each, and Cincinnati has been credited with one team sack, not awarded to any specific player. Geno leads all DTs: With two sacks of Blaine Gabbert last week at Jacksonville, Bengals DT Geno Atkins has moved into the season sacks lead for NFL interior linemen, with 5.0. Through Week 3 Atkins was in second place, a half-sack behind Carolina’s Dwan Edwards. But Edwards did not have a sack last week. Chicago’s Henry Melton had one sack against Dallas, and he moved into second place at 4.0. Atkins tied last year for the NFL sacks lead among interior linemen, with 7.5. Atkins ranks tied for third among all NFL defenders in sacks through four games. Houston DE J.J. Watt is the leader at 7.5, Green Bay LB Clay Matthews is second at 7.0, and Atkins shares third place with Seattle DE Chris Clemons and LB DeMarcus Ware. No flash in the pan: When the Bengals drafted DT Geno Atkins in 2010 — in the fourth round, 120th overall — the choice was met with a general yawn by analysts and media. He wasn’t huge (290 pounds at the time). He was a bit short at 6-1. His college career at Georgia lacked “SportsCenter moments.” But Atkins has shown from practice day one as a Bengal that he simply has the stuff to make plays, and there’s rarely a snap when he isn’t some sort of factor. He wound up leading the team as a rookie in QB pressures, and last year he tied for the NFL sacks lead (7.5) among interior linemen. For 2012 he is the

(No flash in the pan, continued)

defense’s lone returning Pro Bowler, leading interior linemen in sacks (5.0) and tied for third among all NFL players. “No. 97 may be the best inside pass rusher there is,” says Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander “That’s the best thing going for (first-round drafted guard) Kevin Zeitler. He gets to pass block 97 in practice.” Says fellow DT Domata Peko: “I see some of the things Geno does and I say, ‘Man, how does he do that?’ He’s so quick and he’s got the strength of a 350-pound guy. That’s the one thing that scares offensive linemen. Not only his quickness, but his strength. I’ve seen him bull-rush the best of the best at offensive guard.” And defensive line coach Jay Hayes: “He’s getting better because he hasn’t changed the approach he brought with him when he came in trying to prove himself. He still plays 150 miles an hour. He stays low. He’s still into the playbook.” Atkins himself is a young man of few words. But the 24-year-old will give you three to sum up his success: “Outwork, outhit, outrun,” he says. DEs pose big threat, too: Though Pro Bowl DT Geno Atkins currently holds the Bengals sacks spotlight (see previous items), the Bengals believe that for the rest of the season, they have potentially one of the NFL’s best DE tandems in fourth-year pro Michael Johnson and third-year man Carlos Dunlap. Both DEs are physically imposing, Dunlap at 6-6 and 280 and Johnson at 6-7 and 270. Dunlap was a Bengals second-round draft pick, and Johnson was a third-rounder. Johnson has 4.0 sacks this season. He had 3.0 at Washington on Sept. 23 and earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. “It shows growth,” said Johnson of the honor. “What I mean to do every year is just get better and improve in everything I can improve on.” Dunlap missed this season’s first two games due to a knee strain, but now he has 2.0 sacks, one in each of the last two games. Dunlap’s only problem in his Bengals career has been staying on the field, but he has 16 sacks in his last 22 games, an average of 0.73 per contest. And just with what he shows when he’s right, the Bengals believe he’s capable of exceeding that pace the rest of the season. As a rookie in 2010, he ran off a string of 8.5 sacks over six games. Dunlap’s 9.5 sacks in 2010 set a Bengals rookie record, and last year, though he was slowed by injuries, he led the team in QB pressures (27) and still logged 4.5 sacks. Johnson came out of Georgia Tech with recognized high potential, but had the rap of a player who didn’t maintain a high motor on every snap. As a pro, he has not missed a game and has increased his contribution each year. Last year he posted career highs in sacks (6.0), tackles (51) and passes defensed (six). 1-2-3 punch: Bengals LOT Andrew Whitworth offers this on the Bengals’ three leading sack-makers: “I work a lot in practice against Mike (Johnson), and he’s someone as an offensive lineman that you have to prepare for because of his speed. If you’re the only top rusher on a team, it’s tough for you, but when Carlos (Dunlap) is on the other side and Geno (Atkins) is in the middle, those three guys are dynamic. When you’ve got those three guys, it’s a long day for the offensive line, that’s for sure.” Johnson also leads the line this season in total tackles with 14. Marvin’s new look: Marvin Lewis earned his way into the NFL head coaching fraternity as a record-setting defensive coordinator. But as boss of the 2012 Bengals, he’s sporting one of the NFL’s most intriguing young offenses. But this has happened, he’d freely admit, with some rather significant input from one of the league’s most promising offensive coordinators, and last week there was also an offensive boost from the special teams boss. Under the hands-on direction of Jay Gruden, the offense over Games 2-3 did direct snaps to non-quarterbacks (two going for TDs), rushing sweeps by wide receivers (some key first downs) and short passes turned into long TDs. The Bengals scored nine TDs in Games 2-3, and six of them came on plays of 40 or more yards. Last week at Jacksonville, the offense was more traditional, but the key play in turning momentum early was a 48-yard rush out of punt formation by upback Cedric Peerman. “We’ve got a lot of young guys with special abilities,” Lewis says, “and the coaches are doing a great job of fitting them in, giving them the chance to do what they do best. They’re doing a nice job and we’ve got to keep it up.”

Jones could spell big trouble: Now in his third Bengals season, CB Adam Jones has only 12 punt returns during his Cincinnati tenure, including five in four games this season. Injuries have played a part on two fronts. He’s been limited by his own injuries, and at other times, injuries to others have limited his special teams availability, making him more needed in the secondary. The latter was the case last week at Jacksonville, as four other CBs on the 53-player roster were down with injuries, and Jones was not used as a returner. But if Jones gets more regular work this season returning punts, watch out. He is second among active NFL players with five career punt returns for touchdowns, including an 81-yarder on Sept. 16 vs. Cleveland, and another of his 12 Cincinnati returns went for 63 yards (in 2011 at Seattle). For his NFL career, Jones has had only 96 total returns, and his average of one TD for every 19.2 returns is exceptional. It’s only slightly behind Chicago’s Devin Hester, whose average is 17.8. Hester is by a landslide the NFL all-time leader in total punt return TDs, with 12, and he has 213 total returns. Jones has a far better TD average than celebrated threats such as Deion Sanders (TD every 35.3), Dante Hall (TD every 36.0) and Billy “White Shoes” Johnson (TD every 47.0). “I marvel at Adam’s abilities in many ways,” says Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “He is amazing with the ball in his hands. He’s amazing when the DBs do their tackling drills, and he’s the ball carrier. He’s very, very difficult to get your hands on. He’s done a wonderful job of becoming responsible with the football, and of understanding the schematics of the return game. He’s come light years in that way. He’s electrifying, he gets everybody excited when he’s back there.” Jones’ TD against Cleveland was a difference-maker. The Bengals won by a touchdown (34-27), and his was the only special teams or defense TD of the game. Jones 2nd in NFL, but needs work: For the second straight week, Bengals CB Adam Jones ranks second in the NFL in punt return average. He’s at 19.6 yards on five returns. The leader is Buffalo’s Leodis McKelvin at 29.7. But with just five returns in four games, Jones is at the minimum requirement limit of 1.25 returns per team game. So he would need at least two returns vs. Miami to remain in the league rankings next week. The Bengals rank seventh in the NFL in team punt return average, at 13.8. WR Brandon Tate has averaged 9.7 yards on seven returns. A depth-chart squeeze, and a good one: Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis faced plenty of questions entering 2012 about his team’s depth at wide receiver. There was speculation that No. 1 wideout A.J. Green, a spectacular talent, might be hounded into ordinary-ness by double and triple-teams. But Lewis steadfastly contended that wouldn’t be the case, and seldom has he been proven more correct. Green is off to a great start, with 27 receptions for 428 yards (a team-record pace in yards). He leads the team in TDs (three). And one reason Green is doing just fine is that his supporting cast of WRs — who had only 27 NFL catches combined last year — is performing at a high level. “People have been asking me, ‘Who is your No. 2 wideout?’ ” Lewis says, “and my answer is that I think I have about four of them. We have guys who have produced when given the chance, and some others who haven’t had a great chance yet, but I’m confident they’ll make the most of it when they do.” Four other WRs have at least one catch over Games 1-4, and together the quartet has outpaced Green with 32 catches, 483 yards and four TDs. Second-year pro Andrew Hawkins was the top supporting player for the second straight week in the Jacksonville game. His three-for-39 day included a 31-yard catch-and-run that converted a third-and-seven situation on the drive that put Cincinnati ahead 24-10 in the fourth quarter. The Bengals have seven WRs on the 53-player roster — the first time in head coach Marvin Lewis’ 10 seasons the number has been above six. More on the six players behind Green are in the next item. Who are these guys? The six Bengals WRs who joined A.J. Green on the 53-player roster combined for only 27 catches in the 2011 NFL season, but they have shown plenty of talent in the first three games. Here are capsules on the six: ● Andrew Hawkins (second-year; 5-7, 180): Hawkins is dart-quick, and though short, he’s not a “little guy” in the strength department. He has the ability to turn short passes into significant gains, and he has TDs of 50 yards vs. Cleveland and 59 yards at Washington. He is second on the team in receiving

(Who are these guys?, continued)

yards (247), third in catches (15) and tied for second in TDs (two). He also has two rushes for 16 yards. He steadily increased his role as an NFL rookie last year and finished the season with 23 catches for 263 yards. In 2009 and ’10, he played for Grey Cup championship teams for Montreal in the Canadian League. ● Armon Binns (first year; 6-3, 210): Binns has good size, speed and hands. In a best-case comparison, he’s in the A.J. Green mold. He did a good Green impersonation on his 48-yard TD play on Sept. 23 at Washington, eluding his defender on a short sideline catch and then outrunning the rest of the Redskin defenders down the sideline. He’s proving tough over the middle, unafraid to risk taking the big hit. He’s 12-for-157 over four games. He’s playing for the first time in 2012, having spent most of his 2011 rookie campaign on the Bengals practice squad. He had a pair of 1100-yard seasons at the University of Cincinnati, scoring 21 TDs in those two campaigns. ● Brandon Tate (fourth-year; 6-1, 200): Tate was used on kickoff and punt returns at Jacksonville and did not have a ball thrown his way for the second straight week. But caught three for a team-leading 71 vs. Cleveland, including a 44-yard TD. He was obtained late in the 2011 preseason and didn’t work much on offense last year, concentrating instead on being the team’s primary kickoff and punt returner. But he had 432 receiving yards with three TDs for New England in 2010. He was a third-round draft choice of New England in 2009. ● Mohamed Sanu: (rookie; 6-2, 210): The third-round draft pick from Rutgers has not yet had a pass thrown his way, but he has contributed with his versatility. Taking a direct center snap at Washington, he launched a perfectly thrown ball of about 45 yards that A.J. Green turned into a 73-yard TD. He threw four TD passes in college. But Bengals coaches see his receiving skills outpacing his passing arm before long. He scorched Big East defenses for a conference-record 115 catches last season, shattering a mark of 93 set by current NFL standout Larry Fitzgerald. ● Marvin Jones (rookie; 6-2, 195): The fifth-round draft pick from California got his first NFL catch, a five-yarder, in the Jacksonville game. Also, on Sept. 16 at Cleveland, he drew a 31-yard pass interference penalty against the Browns. He has played in three games. In preseason, Jones made folks wonder how he lasted to the 166th overall selection. He was a smooth playmaker, with gains of 42 and 45 yards that contributed to a team-leading 150 receiving yards. He is perhaps the most athletically graceful and stylish of the cast supporting Green. ● Ryan Whalen (second-year; 6-1, 200): The sixth-round 2011 draftee has been inactive for Games 1-4, but the coaching staff still expresses firm belief that he can help the offense when his next opportunity comes along. He was a top target at Stanford for QB Andrew Luck in 2010, and he’s known as an ultra-dependable route-runner who can catch the ball in traffic. The Elias report: The Bengals passing game has been keeping researchers busy at the Elias Sports Bureau, the NFL’s official statisticians. Reports from Elias include: ● In Games 2-3, for the first time in franchise history, the Bengals had four receivers with 50 or more yards in back-to-back games. ● The Sept. 23 Washington game saw three different receivers with TDs of 48 yards or more — a Bengals first. A.J. Green had a 73-yard score, Andrew Hawkins a 59-yarder and Armon Binns had a 48-yarder. ● Also at Washington, the Bengals had four receivers with 63 or more yards for only the third time ever, and for the first time since 1978. Who’s making the movie? In the space of four games this season, WR Andrew Hawkins has emerged as Human Interest Story No. 1 on the Bengals’ roster. Hawkins bloomed as a subject of media interest in the Sept. 16 Cleveland game, when he did a “SportsCenter Special” on a 50-yard TD catch, covering the last 40 yards on the ground with the moves of a water bug. The play put the Bengals up by two scores in the fourth quarter. And Hawkins has kept the interest alive with more big plays each of the last two weeks (see previous items) And as for the human interest side, toss in these elements: ● He’s a little guy in a big man’s world — 5-foot-7. ● He was unsigned in the NFL after leaving the University of Toledo in 2007, getting only an unsuccessful tryout at a Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp. ● He spent a part of 2008 sleeping on a friend’s couch in Toledo, trying to earn some cash. ● He later found work as a laborer at a company manufacturing wind turbines. And he caddied at Toledo’s Inverness Country Club. ● He briefly had an NFL job with the nearby Detroit Lions, but it was as a scouting intern, not as a player.

● He sent film of himself to a Michael Irvin reality show on Spike TV, on which the winning contestant was to get a spot on the Dallas Cowboys’ 80-man offseason roster. He finished second. ● He landed for two years with Montreal of the Canadian League, helping the Alouettes win Grey Cup titles in 2009 and ’10. ● His CFL work earned him his first NFL contract, in January 2011 with the St. Louis Rams, but he was waived the first week of training camp. ● The Bengals claimed him on waivers from the Rams, and though he started last year on the practice squad, he wound up caching 23 passes for 263 yards. The performance set the stage for his success thus far in 2012, some five years after he left college. Hawkins is not a guy to make a point of belaboring his past, but when media thronged his locker after the Cleveland game, pressing for details and feelings on his climb, he said:. “I didn’t think I’d be at this point — ever. I’ve come from the lowest point — nights crying, coaches telling me to give it up, living on my friend’s couch ... hearing ‘No’ so many times I got used to it. “I know there’s a fine line between me playing here and me not playing anywhere,” Hawkins continued. “That’s the approach I take every week. And I can’t say it enough: I thank God every day that he’s blessed me the way he has.” Hawkins is the younger brother of former Bengals CB Artrell Hawkins. A.J.’s an admirer: You could say that A.J. Green is everything Andrew Hawkins isn’t as a receiver. He’s tall (6-4), so obviously gifted that any layman can see it, and he has been a sought-after player at all levels. But Green sounds as impressed as anyone by the belated success (see previous item) of teammate Andrew Hawkins. “I guess he got overlooked early on because teams saw a 5-7 guy, and they thought he was not high-powered,” said Green. “But man, this guy is powerful. He’s explosive. He’s quick. He’s fast. He’s elusive. He’s all of the above.” Andy told you so: When QB Andy Dalton opened training camp by singing the praises of the WRs being counted on to draw some defensive heat away from A.J. Green, it was hard not to suspect he was just trying to be a good and encouraging teammate. But the play of the WR group behind Green has been one of the young season’s biggest stories, and Dalton has reminded reporters: “We are talented there, and that’s what we said on day one. I know these are guys who hadn’t proven anything coming into the season, but we have the talent and I’m excited about the group we’ve got. Hopefully they’ll just keep getting better and better each week.” Dalton and WR A.J. Green, of course, were instant hits as rookies last year. Using that experience, Dalton tried to inject more confidence into this year’s young group. “I think back to what A.J. and I thought last year,” Dalton said. “We thought, ‘We may be rookies, but we’re going to be playing, so we better play well.’ I think what we were able to do last year has shown these guys, ‘I don’t have to wait for my turn. I can go ahead and do this now.’ ” The new look at halfback: Cedric Benson earned respect over four Bengals seasons as a hard-charging and powerful HB who loved having his number called. He topped the 1000-yard mark in each of his three full years (2009-11). But the Bengals were looking for something a little different in 2012, and the revolving door of free agency saw Benson exit while BenJarvus Green-Ellis entered. And though Green-Ellis is not quite the sheer power back Benson was, he hits plenty hard and brings other assets to the table. The Bengals have not opened a lot of big holes for the rushing game the last two weeks, but Green-Ellis to date has 286 rushing yards on 82 carries (3.5). He also has six receptions for 46 yards. He’s averaging 83.0 yards from scrimmage per game. He has two rushing TDs. Last week at Jacksonville, he was 26-for-82 rushing (3.2) and two-for-12 receiving. “I think BenJarvus is a little more patient,” says HB Brian Leonard, comparing Green-Ellis with Benson. “He sees the hole and then hits it hard. Cedric would put his head down and run as hard as he could and try to run someone over. BenJarvus isn’t as much of a punisher, but he sees more and makes some good cuts. ‘Slow to, fast through.’ That’s what we say. Slow to the line and fast through it. If you’re patient, the holes will open up. You find your hole and you can go.” For LOT Andrew Whitworth, the perception is similar. “The offensive line’s plan doesn’t change, no matter who the back is or how they run,” Whitworth says. “But it’s nice to see BenJarvus make people miss and get the extra, tough yards. He does that thing you see out of other good backs in

— 6 —

(The new look at halfback, continued)

short-yardage situations, where you need to get those yards. He has great balance. He doesn’t just fall down or just run into people. He’s able to keep his balance and keep his feet churning and move them, and when you can do that as a back, it also gives us time to help him and push the pile and do all those things that help you get those extra yards.” Short yardage report: Through three four, BenJarvus Green-Ellis is six-for-eight as a rusher on converting third and fourth-down plays with two or fewer yards to go. He has converted three 3-1s, two 4-1s and one 3-2. He has been stopped short on one 3-2 and one 3-1. Historic streak ends, and now a challenge: Through his 10th offensive touch in the Sept. 23 Washington game, BenJarvus Green-Ellis had reached 589 career combined rushes and receptions without a fumble. Elias Sports Bureau reports the 589 as essentially the longest such streak to start a career in NFL history. For devotees of detail, the official declaration is that it’s the longest such streak since 1945, when individual player fumbles were first recorded on a regular basis. But Green-Ellis finally did cough one up on his 11th touch in the Washington game (the Redskins recovered), and last week at Jacksonville, he fumbled twice. The Jaguars got the first one, and he covered the second himself. “Obviously we can’t have fumbles,” said head coach Marvin Lewis. “But Benny is such a conscientious person, and he’s obviously been among the best in this area. He just needs to keep the ball high and tight.” Green-Ellis also has 52 career rushes/receptions without a fumble in postseason play, covering four games for New England. Green-Ellis joins Marvin’s ‘25’ club: The Bengals are 32-2 under head coach Marvin Lewis when a rusher records 25 or more carries. That is a .941 winning percentage. HB BenJarvus Green-Ellis added to the winning total last week at Jacksonville, getting his first 25-plus game as a Bengal (at 26-for-82). The Bengals were 11-1 under Lewis with Cedric Benson hitting the 25 mark (2008-11). They were 18-1 with Rudi Johnson (2003-07) and 2-0 with Kenny Watson (2007). “It’s not always the yardage total that’s most important,” says Lewis. “When your back is carrying 25 times, it means that even though the yardage will vary, you’re controlling the ball, controlling the clock, and keeping your defense off the field. As it shows for us that is very likely going to be a winning combination.” Games under Lewis with a 25-carry rusher have been slightly less frequent — and more successful — than games with a 100-yard rusher. The record in the Lewis era with a 100-yard rusher is 30-7, a winning percentage of .811. Zeitler emerging: The Bengals opened preseason with very high hopes for upgraded guard play in 2012. Those hopes are still high, but with half the original plan gone — veteran free agent Travelle Wharton shelved by a major knee injury — there’s a bit more pressure on first-round draft choice Kevin Zeitler to debut in top form. Line coach Paul Alexander is not one to sugarcoat. He noted to media early in preseason that Zeitler was struggling in practice to block Pro Bowl DT Geno Atkins. Alexander says now, however, that Zeitler is doing fine. “He cares. He really wants to be good. It’s infectious,” Alexander said. “I see him play now and I’ve gone beyond feeling like he’s going to be good. He’s showing enough where I think he is good.” And highly motivated to stay that way. “He’s not like some first-rounders, like when there’s a break they’re going over to check their stock portfolio,” Alexander said. “He’s just watching football.” “This guy is all about football,” agrees OT and team leader Andrew Whitworth. “He almost gets too charged up. You’d like to see him relax a little bit and enjoy it. So we’ll kid around with him and try to loosen him up some.” Huber pins’ em: Kevin Huber has consistently been among the NFL’s better punters in pinning foes inside their 20-yard line while avoiding touchbacks. Thus far in 2012, Huber ranks tied for first in the NFL in differential in this category (plus-nine). He has had nine inside-20 kicks and no touchbacks. Also at plus-nine are Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt, with 10 inside-20s and one touchback, and Green Bay’s Tim Masthay (11-2). Huber’s net punting average is 42.2 yards, ranked ninth in the NFL. (Net punting average is determined by subtracting opponent return yards and touchback yardage from the gross punting yardage total, and then dividing that

by attempts, including blocks.) Huber is in his fourth season, and for his career he has 85 inside-20s against 25 touchbacks. That’s a ratio of 3.40 inside-20s for every touchback, and that is ever so close to the best ratio in Bengals history. The leader is Kyle Larson at 3.41 (109-32). Huber ranks fourth in Bengals history in total inside-20s. The leader is Lee Johnson, with 186 over 11 seasons (1988-98). In second place is Pat McInally (157 over 10 seasons), and in third place is Kyle Larson (109 over five seasons). Huber has had a punt downed inside the opponent’s five-yard line in each of the last two games, having pinned Washington at its two on Sept. 23 and Jacksonville at its four last week. Maualuga widens margin: MLB Rey Maualuga finished second on the team with eight tackles at Jacksonville, widening his team lead to 12 over second-place Reggie Nelson, who had five. Maualuga now has 40 tackles and Nelson 28. LB Vontaze Burfict is third with 25 stops after getting a team-leading 12 at Jacksonville, including his first NFL sack. The defense as a whole showed big improvement last week at Jacksonville. Cincinnati’s first three opponents had averaged 416.7 yards per game, but the Jaguars were held to less than half that, at 212. Maualuga admits that his own play has not been as consistent as it needs to be, and he counts on himself to be a unit leader. Last season the Bengals ranked seventh in the NFL in fewest yards allowed and ninth in fewest points allowed, and Maualuga had 115 tackles for that club, second on the team despite missing three games with an injury. “I have a picture in my mind, that I know our defense can look like, how we can play,” he says. “And I know we can, and there’s still a lot of football left. As a unit, we’ve got to get some things fixed, and for myself, I just want to be a leader out there, making every play possible.” And defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is watching closely. “In the offseason, we talked a lot about how we can help Rey become a better player,” Zimmer said. “One thing is to not be so complicated with him. Dhani Jones (previous starting MLB) knew what everybody did on every single play and wanted to tell them what to do. Rey has tried to be Dhani Jones, but he’s not Dhani. He just needs to know what he does. Another thing Rey does at times is reading plays so fast, he gets there before the ball does, and then he’s out of position and has to fall back. I’m trying to get him to be a little more patient on his initial read and once that happens, then he can go attack it and go downhill at full speed. If he’ll just be a little more patient, he’ll be good.” Burfict keeps on coming: Rookie LB Vontaze Burfict, signed by the Bengals as a college free agent after going undrafted, staked a strong claim at Jacksonville last week for the No. 1 WLB position, replacing veteran Thomas Howard, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Burfict played 58 snaps, tied for second-most on the defense behind MLB Rey Maualuga (60), and Burfict responded with team leads in total tackles (12) and solos (eight). His total included a sack, and he also had a pass defensed. Burfict was an explosive player for much of his college career at Arizona State, ballyhooed at times as a potential NFL first-round draft choice, but by the time the draft was over this past April, his future prospects seemed to be in tatters. He went undrafted due to a reputation for immaturity and a reckless, penalty-plagued playing style. He wound up on the outs with his coaching staff, essentially benched, and he was said to be unimpressive at the Scouting Combine. But Bengals coach Marvin Lewis took an interest in Burfict during the lead-up to the draft, determining that Cincinnati would try to sign him if he was not selected. Thus far, the decision looks not far short of brilliant. Burfict’s preseason play included a sack, and also a diving interception that showed outstanding ball skills. Just as importantly, he has gone through four preseason games and now four regular-season contests with no head-scratcher personal fouls. Also, he has displayed a pleasing personality with fans and the media. “I don’t know the guy from Arizona State,” Lewis says of Burfict and his college travails. “I don’t need to know about anything in the past. Vontaze has done everything he needs to do to keep developing into a productive linebacker in the National Football League. Says Burfict: “What happened in the past happened in the past. For me, what people portrayed me as at the draft, I totally wasn’t that guy. It’s not like I could go and confront media people and say ‘You guys have got the wrong person.’ Whatever they put out there, they put out there. And whatever team got me, they will see the real Vontaze. I’m just totally the opposite of that.”

(Bengals notes, continued)

Gresham shows his stuff: Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham just keeps coming on. The third-year pro went to the Pro Bowl last season as a second-year player, and this year he has 17 catches for 178 yards in four games, with a TD. Last week at Jacksonville, he was second on the team in catches for the second straight week, with five. He was also second in receiving yards 47, and that total of course does not include an end-zone pass interference call he drew against S Dwight Lowery in the second quarter, setting up a TD that put the Bengals ahead to stay at 10-7. “Jermaine kept hustling after that football and stayed on the route, which gave Andy (Dalton) a chance to get him the football.” said head coach Marvin Lewis. “Unfortunately, we have seen guys quit running in those situations, after they’re grabbed. But Jermaine knows he can go in there and post up anybody and go up and get that football. The guy was grabbing his left arm, he couldn’t get it up because the guy was pulling it down, and Jermaine almost caught it with his right hand.” Gresham started his Cincinnati career by becoming the first Bengals TE since Dan Ross in 1980-81 to get two straight 50-catch seasons, and his 10 TD catches are the most on the team in his tenure. He is also a powerful blocker. Gresham on Gresham: Despite being off to another fine season (see previous item), Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham says he’s way less than impressed with his performance to date. “I’m very, very average — below average — right now,” says Gresham, referring to his first two seasons. “I need to excel at things so I can be on the top-level tier. It’s just that simple.” Gresham’s displeasure stems from the fact that despite his success, record receiving numbers were posted the last two years by TEs Rob Gronkowski of New England and Jimmy Graham of New Orleans, both selected behind Gresham in the 2010 draft. No matter that the others may have played in offensive schemes more suited to big TE numbers. The competitor in Gresham won’t buy that reasoning. “From a comparative sense, you want to be the best,” he says. “I believe I can be that guy, but until you do it ... It’s more pride than anything. You’ve just got to keep up with your peers.” Uniform watch: The Bengals are scheduled to wear black jerseys and black pants vs. Miami. In 2004, a uniform redesign made a number of different color options available. Below is the team record since 2004 (regular season and postseason) in the different combinations of jerseys and pants:

JERSEY PANTS W-L-T PCT. Orange Black ...................................................................... 3-0-0 1.000 Orange White ................................................................... 10-3-0 .769 Black Black ...................................................................... 9-8-1 .528 Black White ................................................................. 18-23-0 .439 White Black .................................................................. 14-19-0 .424 White White ................................................................. 10-17-0 .370 Turnover tables are turned: During the tenure of head coach Marvin Lewis (2003-present), the Bengals rank seventh in the NFL in turnover differential (plus-29). Prior to Lewis’ tenure, the Bengals had posted a minus turnover differential for five straight years (1998-2002). Here are the top teams in differential since 2003: TEAM TAKEAWAYS GIVEAWAYS DIFFERENTIAL New England ............................ 294........................... 190 .............................. +104 Indianapolis ............................... 252........................... 195 ................................ +57 Atlanta ....................................... 264........................... 220 ................................ +44 Baltimore ................................... 291........................... 251 ................................ +40 San Diego ................................. 251........................... 216 ................................ +35 Green Bay ................................. 271........................... 241 ................................ +30 Cincinnati .................................. 271........................... 242 ................................ +29 Since 2003, the Bengals rank tied for fifth in the NFL in takeaways (271) and fourth in points off turnovers (821). A stat that matters: For the Bengals term of coach Marvin Lewis (2003-present), a plus-differential in turnovers reflects a big plus in the win column. And the reverse has gone for a minus.

The Bengals are 45-11-1 in regular season under Lewis with a plus, for a winning percentage of .790. But with a minus, Lewis’ Bengals are 10-49. When the differential has been even, the results have been nearly even, with the Bengals at 17-15 under Lewis. The Bengals won last week at Jacksonville with an even differential. It was the team’s second win of the season in which the turnover differential was even (Sept. 16 vs. Cleveland was the other). The Bengals’ overall experience with turnovers under Lewis is backed up by overall league numbers during his tenure. Since the start of the 2003 season, here are the records of teams with varying turnover differentials (minus differentials are not included because they are the exact reverse of the plus figure for the same numbers): DIFFERENTIAL W-L-T PCT. Plus-1 .............................................................................. 584-259-0 .693 Plus-2 ................................................................................ 456-90-0 .835 Plus-3 ................................................................................ 260-30-1 .895 Plus-4 .................................................................................. 148-4-0 .974 Plus-5 or more ...................................................................... 73-2-0 .973 Since 2003, NFL teams with any plus have a combined winning percentage of .798. The combined W-L record is 1521-385-1. Bengals claim biggest ‘Battle’ margin: With their Sept. 16 victory vs. Cleveland, the Bengals claimed the biggest lead — a margin of six games — held by either side in the 43-year history of the Battle of Ohio. The tally is now 42-36 in Cincinnati’s favor. The Browns’ biggest lead has been five games. Cleveland led at 6-1 after the first meeting of 1973. Since mid-1973, the Bengals lead 41-30, including marks of 6-1 for the last seven games and 13-3 for the last 16. The longest winning streak in series history belongs to the Browns. Starting with the second meeting of 1992, the Browns posted a win streak of seven. The Bengals’ longest win streak is five, from the second game of 2004 through the second game of ’06. The Bengals have a current win streak of four. When the Browns won seven straight, it carried them from a 20-24 deficit to a 27-24 lead. That was after the second game of 1995. The Bengals would not lead the series again until late 2006. They climbed back on top when they gained a 34-33 edge with a win in game two of 2006. Since the conclusion of the 2006 set, the Browns have since pulled into a couple of ties, but they have now endured roughly a six-year stretch without a lead in the series, and they cannot lead again until late 2015 at the earliest. The Bengals and Browns will have their second meeting of 2012 on Oct. 14, at Cleveland. Hogging the Harris: The most recent Harris Poll on America’s favorite sports confirms pro football’s standing as not only the nation’s most popular, but the most popular by an eye-popping margin. Harris — the national pioneer in market research — reported early this year that 36 percent of poll respondents chose pro football as their favorite. That is nearly three times the total of baseball — at 13 percent — and tying baseball for second place was college football, making pro or college football the favorite of 49 percent. Auto racing ranked fourth at eight percent. Tying for fifth at five percent were men’s pro basketball, men’s college basketball and hockey. TV streak at 109, bound for 110: In each of the last 109 Cincinnati TV ratings weeks that have included a Bengals regular-season or postseason broadcast — dating back to 2004 — the Bengals have ruled the Cincinnati airwaves. They have been the top-rated show among all programming in the Cincinnati market. And it’s a virtual certainty that the streak will hit 110 when Cincinnati rankings are in for the week of Sept. 24-30. The Bengals’ Sept. 30 game at Jacksonville drew a rating of 25.7, a number no other programs have approached in recent years. The rating number indicates the percentage of market households tuned to the game — including those not watching TV at the time. The streak began on Dec. 5, 2004, when a wild Bengals win at Baltimore outpolled all other programs. The highest local Bengals rating during the streak has been 45.5 for a home playoff game vs. Pittsburgh on Jan. 8, 2006. The high rating of Bengals games has occurred despite the fact most games are played in the afternoon, when overall TV viewership is not as high as it is during the evening.

BENGALS QUOTES Head coach Marvin Lewis, on the Dolphins game: “It’s an exciting week for us. It should be a great game for our fans. Hopefully we’ll get everybody out here and fill the house again. It’s against a Miami team that’s got a great offensive line and talented skill guys, with Reggie Bush. They have a young quarterback (Ryan Tannehill) that’s doing a good job for them, and they have a very, very stout defense, first in the NFL against the run, I believe. So it’ll be a tough football game on Sunday.” Lewis, on the offense showing more versatility and explosiveness in 2012: “A year ago, everything was new for everyone. We had a new coordinator and it basically all started the first of August (due to the labor lockout). This year, we had the entire offseason, all the time in OTAs, training camp and so forth for us to refine things we’re doing and to keep pushing the concepts forward. So you see new things and new concepts that we have worked on throughout training camp, that we have brought out week to week to week, and you’re able to let those things unfold a little bit further beyond where we were. The quarterback (Andy Dalton) does a great job handling every situation.” Lewis, on the rebuilt interior of the offensive line: “Clint (Boling) began last year as our starting guard, and nothing’s changed. We hoped to have a competition there, but the competition didn’t last very long (with veteran free agent Travelle Wharton lost for the year in the first preseason game). Clint is playing as well as anybody on the offensive front. We installed (first-round draft pick) Kevin Zeitler right away at the other one, and then Jeff Faine came in at center (replacing injured Kyle Cook), and Jeff has gotten better each and every week, more comfortable. He went out there (at Jacksonville) and played hurt a little bit and showed his toughness and grit, and what kind of guy he is.” CB Terence Newman, on DT Geno Atkins: “I’m telling you, the dude is like a little pit bull. He’s stocky, compact, and his first step is amazing. Í worked out with him in the offseason and got to see him doing some starts. His first rep is unbelievable, and he’s smart as hell. I couldn’t believe this is only his third year in the league. The guy’s going to be one of the best at that position, for sure.” DT Domata Peko, on DT Geno Atkins: “He’s a really humble guy; that’s the cool thing about Geno. You see players sometimes who seem to get big when they get a lot of stats in their head. But Geno, he’s really a team player. He fits within in the scheme and tries to play within the scheme, and that’s what you want to see.” Newman, on the secondary’s veteran depth, particularly in regard to last week’s injury deactivations: “That’s why you have six or seven former first-rounders on this team. Somebody goes down, somebody has to step up. I think that’s definitely one of the advantages of having a secondary like this. If one guy goes down another guy is able to step up.” Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, on his charge from head coach Marvin Lewis: “He’s given me freedom to do whatever. He has the ultimate say, and if we’re putting too much in, I’m sure he’ll pull the reins in. But right now, we don’t have too much in my opinion, and we’re just scratching the surface.” Lewis, on his confidence for 2012: “This is a very good-looking football team. It’s big and it’s fast. That’s kind of a metamorphosis from where we started. It’s something the organization ought to be very proud of. We are what an NFL team looks like in size and girth and speed and length, the things you want to have in order to be successful. You’ve got to have long bodies that can extend and keep people away from you. And on

the other side, they can have enough hips to finish and do the right things. My full thoughts are a little more technical, but that’s what I see when I watch our football team. Now we’ve got to go apply it.” LOT Andrew Whitworth, on the offense: “We really are a team with a lot of weapons. It’s exciting to be blocking for this group.” S Chris Crocker, on his reception in the locker room after re-signing on Sept. 27, after spending late 2008 through ’11 as a Bengal: “It’s like ‘Cheers.’ Everyone knows my name. I’m still able-bodied, and obviously they have a need. I’ll let it all loose. It’s exciting just to be back and just to see all the guys and to be accepted.” Crocker, on his release by Cincinnati last April 6, and on snagging an INT last week at Jacksonville: “I didn’t leave on the terms that I wanted to, and I’m here to prove something about that. I have a lot of things to prove, and I’ll just leave it at that.” WR Armon Binns, on making it with the Bengals after being cut by Jacksonville last year: “It’s something I’ll never forget. I talk to Urb (wide receiver coach James Urban) about it all the time. It’s something that motivates me. Being looked over. Being told you’re not good enough is something that’s very hard for me to let go, and it’s something that drives me to be as good as I can be when I come to work every day.” Binns, on showing an ability to withstand contact and make catches over middle: “That’s what the coaches ask from me. They want me to be fearless going across the middle and they need me to be a target for Andy (Dalton), and sometimes you have to take a shot.” Gruden, on WR Mohamed Sanu’s future prospects as a passer, following his TD bomb to A.J. Green on Sept. 23 at Washington: “I think he wants to keep his best of all-time NFL passer rating, so I don’t think he’ll be throwing anymore anytime soon. But seriously, you never know. He does have a good arm. He proved at Rutgers he could be successful in that role. It’s just you only have so many plays a day you can practice. How much time we want to spend on that is going to depend on where we are.” CB Adam Jones, on special teams coach Darrin Simmons: “I haven’t had a special teams coach better than Darrin. That guy, any little thing, he’ll find it and help. We’re in practice and I’m catching the ball and feeling good about it, but he’s like ‘You have to make sure you turn a little bit because in a game, it’s going to hit you.’ It’s little things he does that make me feel comfortable back there, even though I didn’t have any reps in the preseason.” WRs coach James Urban, on the explosive-play ability of WR Andrew Hawkins: “He’s a dynamic, explosive, quick player who creates mismatch problems for people. It’s hard to replicate his speed. You see it for a few plays, and you realize it’s a different speed than what (opponents) are used to seeing.” Whitworth, comparing the starting G duo of Clint Boling and Kevin Zeitler to last year’s duo of Bobbie Williams and Nate Livings: “Clint and Kevin are younger, more agile guys. They’re not quite as big, so they’re going to run around and be able to get on guys, and maybe they’ll maintain blocks a little longer just because of their speed and young legs and being a little lighter. The main thing is that we have that attitude that we’re going to finish every play. That’s going to help us run the ball effectively.”

CB Dre Kirkpatrick, on nearing his return to action from a knee injury: “I’m going to meetings, coming in and getting extra treatment, watching plays. I’m able to start getting in some cardio work. I’m trying to work back into it. I’m getting ready to get back on the field.” Whitworth, on offensive balance: “We’ve done OK running the ball, but this team isn’t defined by rushing. This team is talented in a lot of other areas. Last year we went to the playoffs and weren’t the greatest running team in America. The team that won the Super Bowl (the Giants) was 32nd in rushing. We’re not aiming to be the best rushing team this year. We’re aiming to be the team that scores the most points at the end of the game. We just want to clean things up, do it efficiently and throw the ball also. Throw it efficiently.” Lewis, on offensive coordinator Jay Gruden: “Jay has a great strength, really seeing the offense through the quarterback’s eyes. He’s able to be a visionary that way and go out and coach all 11 guys through it, from how he expects the protection to work, or to the run scheme to work to all the skill players. And that’s a real gift.” Lewis, when asked about the coaching wisdom he has acquired: “When you become the head coach, more than anything else that you deal with, it’s learning the ups and downs of injuries. The unknowns of injuries — the Tuesdays, the Wednesdays that you’re not sure of things. The more that you do it, you realize that those decisions are made for you on Wednesday and Thursday, more than they ever are on Friday or Saturday. When you realize

that’s how it’s likely to be, it helps everybody in this building. You reduce the anxiety of it, because the anxiety doesn’t get close to the game. It’s already taken care of, and everybody knows what’s feasible for the plans they might have or want to have.” Lewis, on OT Andre Smith: “Last year Andre really grew into the player we drafted and expected to have. Unfortunately it got delayed and sideways (during his rookie season), for different reasons with the holdout and an immediate injury and so forth. But he really has taken a lot of steps in maturity. You just saw the personality come out of a guy that was picked where he was picked in the draft. The total man — all the qualities of a first-round pick, particularly a high first-round pick — they began to emerge throughout last year, and he’s picked up where he left off.” Dalton, on taking more of a leadership role in his second season: “I think I’ve done a better job in the work we’ve had so far. If a guy runs a route a little differently, I’m going to go over there and talk to him, make sure we’re on the same page, instead of letting a coach do it. Last year I was just trying to get the next play run and letting the coach handle other issues. But now, I can go over there and say something, because getting the next play is much more second nature than it was last year.” Lewis, on rookie DTs Devon Still and Brandon Thompson: “I’ve been really pleased with those guys. They’re what we expected and better. Every opportunity for them to get out there and get going will continue to help them help us for the regular season. These guys are going to be players here for a while. The time invested in them is really good, because it’s all the upside potential.”

POSITION BY POSITION Quarterbacks: Second-year pro Andy Dalton just missed posting a third straight triple-digit passer rating in the Jacksonville game, posting a 96.7 on 20-for-31 for 244 yards with two TDs and two INTs. His TD passes went one yard to FB Chris Pressley in the second quarter and 18 yards to WR A.J. Green in the fourth quarter. Dalton’s best passes were not for scores, but helped set up scores as he threw pinpoint passes down the sideline of 42 and 30 yards to Green. Dalton now has a 103.0 rating on the season, at 85-of-126 (67.5 percent) for 1111 yards with eight TDs and four INTs. Dalton also scored his first TD of the season, and the second of his career, on a one-yard sneak in the second quarter. After earning a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie, Dalton looks in 2012 to challenge for full recognition among the NFL’s elite QBs. The redhead from Texas Christian engineered four comeback wins in the fourth quarter last season, leading Cincinnati to a playoff berth, and he became the first rookie QB in NFL history to start as many as eight wins and throw as many as 20 TD passes. Seventh-year pro Bruce Gradkowski is in the No. 2 QB role. He has not played in the last three games. He relieved Dalton in the fourth quarter in the season opener at Baltimore but did not throw a pass. Gradkowski gives the Bengals a proven veteran presence in the No. 2 spot. He saw limited action in 2011, but in his one major appearance, he replaced an injured Dalton in the season opener at Cleveland and led a comeback win. Running backs: The Bengals’ rushing game has a new look for 2012, with unrestricted free agent signee BenJarvus Green-Ellis claiming the lead role. Green-Ellis had 94 scrimmage yards at Jacksonville, rushing 26-for-82 (3.2) and catching two passes for 12 yards. For the season he is 82-for-286 rushing with two TDs, and he also has 46 yards on six receptions. He is averaging 83.0 scrimmage yards per game and is tied for second on the team in TDs (two). On Sept. 23 at Washington, Green-Ellis had his first career fumble on a rush or reception, ending at 589 a streak that was certified by Elias Sports Bureau as the longest for the start of a career since 1945, when individual fumbles first were recorded. Fumbles continued to newly plague him at Jacksonville, as he fumbled twice (one lost). Fourth-year HB Bernard Scott made his 2012 playing debut in the Washington game, after missing all the preseason and Games 1-2 with a hand injury, but was out again at Jacksonville with an ankle strain. Scott is still pegged for a significant role this season, however. He saw regular action spelling starter Cedric Benson in recent Bengals seasons, and last season he posted career highs in carries (112) and rushing yards (380). He entered this season with a 4.0-yard career rush average. HB Brian Leonard rushed one-for-three at Jacksonville and had a 13-yard reception. Leonard is six-for-26 rushing on the season, and his reception at Jacksonville was his first of the season. Leonard has earned regular playing time for Cincinnati since becoming a Bengal in a 2009 trade with St. Louis. He has made numerous big plays as a situational contributor, mostly on third and fourth downs. He averaged 7.6 yards on 39 touches last season. HB Cedric Peerman had a key 48-yard rushing gain at

Jacksonville, but it came on special teams, as he sprinted from the Cincinnati 34 to the Jacksonville 18 in the second quarter after taking a direct snap as the upback in punt formation. The play set up a TD that put the Bengals ahead to stay at 10-7. Including four rushes on offense in previous games, Peerman is now five-for-71 rushing on the season. The No. 1 FB job belongs for the second straight season to Chris Pressley, and in the Jacksonville game, on his first offensive touch of the season, the fourth-year pro caught a one-yard TD pass for his first NFL score. The play put the Bengals ahead 10-7. Wide receivers: Second-year pro A.J. Green was among the NFL’s most talked-about young players as the 2012 season began, and he’s living up to the talk. He caught six passes for 117 yards and a TD in the win at Jacksonville, posting 100 receiving yards back-to-back for the first time in his short career. He had a career-high 183 yards on Sept. 23 at Washington and for the second straight week, he leads the AFC in receiving yards (428). His TD at Jacksonville was an 18-yarder in the fourth quarter that put the Bengals ahead 24-10. He also made impressive running grabs of 42 and 30 yards, the 42-yarder carrying to the Jaguars one and setting up a TD for a 17-7 lead. He also showed his exceptional ability to extend himself for a tough catch on a 14-yarder across the middle to the Jaguars six in the third quarter. Green leads the team with 27 catches and in touchdowns (three). Second-year pro Andrew Hawkins has had big plays in all four games this season. His three-for-39 receiving day at Jacksonville included a 31-yard catch-and-run that converted a third-and-seven situation on the drive that put Cincinnati ahead 24-10 in the fourth quarter. Hawkins has TD receptions this season of 50 and 59 yards. He is second on the team in receiving yards (247) and third in catches (15), with a 16.5-yard average. On special teams at Jacksonville, Hawkins downed a punt at the Jaguars four. Mohamed Sanu, the rookie third-round draft choice from Rutgers, does not have a reception on the season, but on Sept. 23 at Washington, his 73-yard TD pass to Green out of the Wildcat formation was the longest by an NFL player on his first career pass attempt since 2003, when Pittsburgh P Josh Miller completed an 81-yarder. It was the first Bengals TD pass thrown by a non-QB since one by place-kick holder Lee Johnson in 1994. First-year player Armon Binns had no receptions at Jacksonville, but for the season he is 12-for-157 with a TD. He was in the offensive plan at Jacksonville, with five passes thrown his way. He nearly had a circus catch in the end zone but could get only one foot in bounds. Fourth-year pro Brandon Tate did not have a catch at Jacksonville, but he is four-for-74 on the season, including a 44-yard TD on Sept. 16 vs. Cleveland. Rookie Marvin Jones (fifth-round draft pick) had a five-yard catch at Jacksonville, his first pro reception. He has played in three games. He also drew a 31-yard pass interference penalty against Cleveland, setting up a field goal. Second-year pro Ryan Whalen has been inactive the first four games. Tight ends: First-round 2010 draft pick Jermaine Gresham is off to a third straight productive season. He was second on the team in catches (five)

(Position by position, continued)

and receiving yards (47) at Jacksonville, and for the season he is second in catches (17) and third in yards (178) with a TD. Gresham was a Pro Bowl selection last year. The 6-5, 260-pounder also has all the tools to keep developing into a powerful blocker. Rookie fourth-round draft pick Orson Charles played for the fourth straight game in the Jacksonville contest and had a 10-yard catch on Cincinnati’s opening FG drive. He is two-for-35 receiving on the season. Charles was a productive player for three years in the Southeastern Conference before opting to turn pro. Ninth-year pro Donald Lee was released on Sept. 26. Third-year pro Richard Quinn was waived on Sept. 29, and was re-signed on Oct. 2. Quinn was on the roster (inactive) for Games 1-3. Offensive linemen: The line supported an offensive output of 382 yards at Jacksonville, with no sacks allowed. The line lost two front-line players during preseason, but the five starters who opened the regular season have started all four games. LOT Andrew Whitworth and ROT Andre Smith form the established bookends of the 2012 line. The Bengals believe that both can be of Pro Bowl caliber this season. Smith helped blunt an early threat by Jacksonville last week, recovering a first-quarter fumble by Jaguars LB Kyle Bosworth at the Cincinnati nine after Bosworth had made an interception. Smith is a highly talented fourth-year player, the sixth overall pick in the 2009 draft, and has steadied as a pro after some early injury problems. Whitworth is a seventh-year team leader, and his streak of 54 consecutive starts (including postseason) is the longest on the current team. The interior of the Bengals line has also been the same for Games 1-4, but the personnel group is largely new for this season. Second-year pro Clint Boling is at LG. He moved into that spot in the preseason opener, after veteran free agent acquisition Travelle Wharton suffered a season-ending knee injury. Boling was a 2011 fourth-round draft choice. The starting C is Jeff Faine, with 121 NFL starts to his credit, but he has been with the Bengals only since Aug. 29, when he signed as a free agent. He has replaced Kyle Cook, who suffered an ankle injury on Aug. 23 vs. Green Bay and was placed Sept. 4 on the Reserve/Injured list, designated for possible return under league rules. Faine played from 2003-11 with Cleveland, New Orleans and Tampa Bay. The starting RG job is in the hands of first-round draft pick Kevin Zeitler of Wisconsin. Zeitler earned multiple first-team All-America honors in 2011, the last of his four stellar seasons at Wisconsin. Fifth-year OT/G Dennis Roland has been a regular in the offense the last few seasons, starting on occasion and also serving as the “move tight end” on selected downs. He has seen action in that role in Games 1-4. OT Anthony Collins, also a fifth-year player, has 39 career Bengals games with 18 starts. Collins also played some G as well as OT in the team’s preseason games. He has been active for Games 1-4 but has not played. Rookie C/G Trevor Robinson of Notre Dame, who made the roster as a college free agent, has played on special teams in the last two contests. Robinson was active-DNP for Games 1 and 2. Defensive linemen: Returning Pro Bowl DT Geno Atkins led the line charge in last week’s win at Jacksonville, sacking Blaine Gabbert twice among his four tackles. Atkins now has a team-leading 5.0 sacks for 37 yards in losses among his 12 tackles this season. He leads all NFL interior linemen in sacks and ranks tied for third among all players. Last season Atkins tied for the NFL lead among interior linemen with 7.5 sacks. He was the first Bengals defensive lineman to make the Pro Bowl since NT Tim Krumrie in 1988. NT Domata Peko has led the Bengals line in tackles in three of the past four years, and his line-leading five tackles at Jacksonville lifted him back into the lead for this season, with 17. He had his first sack of the season, a seven-yarder on the game’s first scrimmage play. Peko is a team leader on and off the field. He has started every game in four of the last five full seasons. Carlos Dunlap, No. 1 on the depth chart at LDE, played in his second game of the season in the Jacksonville contest and had his second sack among his three tackles. Dunlap missed Games 1-2 while finishing rehab from a knee strain in the preseason opener. For the season Dunlap also has six tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Starting RDE Michael Johnson was limited to one tackle in the Jaguars game, but for the season he is second on the team in sacks (4.0) and second on the line in tackles (15). He also has a fumble recovery. He was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his three-sack performance on Sept. 23 at Washington. Veteran DE Robert Geathers missed the entire preseason schedule with an ankle injury, but he has played in Games 1-4 and has eight tackles. He had four tackles at Jacksonville. A ninth-year pro, Geathers has 91 career starts, including 13 at LDE last year. Making a push for DT playing time are two high 2012 draft choices, second-rounder Devon Still of Penn State and third-rounder Brandon Thompson of Clemson. Still has played in all four games and has five tackles. Still brings a reputation as one of the college game’s best interior-line playmakers. Thompson has played in three games and has two tackles. The 320-pound Thompson is known for solid power on every down. The

play of Still and Thompson has eased concerns over the lack of playing time for veteran DT Pat Sims, who missed the entire preseason (hamstring) and has opened the year on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. A regular in the Bengals line rotation since his 2008 rookie season, Sims is pointing toward a return to action sometime in October. On Sept. 18, the Bengals signed fifth-year DE Wallace Gilberry as a free agent. Gilberry has played in the last two games and has four tackles. Linebackers: Rookie Vontaze Burfict got the lion’s share of snaps at WLB in the Jacksonville game and responded with 12 tackles, including his first pro sack. He now ranks third on the team in tackles for the season (25) and also has a pass defensed. Burfict made the roster as a college free agent. He had a high-profile at Arizona State as a potential top talent, but he was bypassed in the draft due to a reputation for undisciplined play. He has worked successfully to erase that reputation since joining the Bengals. Burfict is replacing veteran Thomas Howard, who was lost for the season with a knee injury suffered in practice prior to Game 2. No. 1 MLB Rey Maualuga missed the last three preseason games, due to a knee strain suffered in the opener, but he has been ready for Games 1-4 and leads the team in tackles (40). He was second in tackles at Jacksonville, with eight. His 13 tackles on Sept. 23 at Washington are the team high for the season. He also has one pass defensed. Maualuga was second on the team in tackles last season with a career-best 115, despite missing three games with an ankle sprain. No. 1 SLB Manny Lawson tied his personal season-high with five tackles at Jacksonville and picked up his first sack of the year, a 12-yarder. Lawson has 16 stops on the year. Lawson is in his second Bengals season, after five seasons with San Francisco. He started 15 games last year, with 78 tackles, and should benefit this season from being in his second year in Cincinnati’s 4-3 scheme, as he previously played in a 3-4. Third-year pro Vincent Rey had one tackle at Jacksonville and also had a special teams stop. Rey has 14 tackles on defense for the year, with a sack and a pass defensed, and he is tied for the special teams tackles lead with four. Fourth-year pro Dan Skuta saw some action on defense at Jacksonville (no statistics), and he had one special teams tackle to stay tied for the team lead at four. He has two tackles for the season on defense. Skuta has steadily progressed since signing as a college free agent in 2009 from the NCAA Division II ranks (Grand Valley State). OLB Dontay Moch opened the season with a four-game NFL suspension (performance-enhancing substances), but he has returned to the team and has been granted a one-week roster exemption to practice and attend meetings. Moch showed some of his big-play potential in preseason, leading the team in sacks (3.5). Moch did not play as a rookie last season, due to injury and migraines, but he was a standout pass rusher in college at Nevada. Defensive backs: The Bengals had four CBs on the inactive list at Jacksonville. No. 1 RCB Leon Hall was inactive for the second straight game due to a hamstring strain. His starting spot was filled by Adam Jones, who contributed four tackles and a pass defensed. Jones has played in all four games and has started the last two. He has 10 tackles and two passes defensed on the season. In addition to his defensive work, he returned a punt 81 yards for the game’s first touchdown on Sept. 16 vs. Cleveland. Jones is in his third Bengals season. Hall’s early status for Miami is questionable. Hall started Games 1-2 after having his 2011 campaign cut short by an Achilles injury. Hall has 12 tackles on the season and leads the team in passes defensed (four). He has 20 career INTs. Terence Newman made his fourth straight start in the Jaguars game, contributing three tackles and a team-best two passes defensed, including one PD on a third-down play to force a punt. Newman ranks fifth on the team for the season in tackles (19) and his three passes defensed rank seventh. He also had a forced fumble that the Bengals recovered vs. Cleveland. Newman opened as a nickel DB in Games 1-2. He is a former Dallas first-round draft choice and a two-time Pro Bowler. Out of the lineup for the first time this season in the Jacksonville game was CB Nate Clements, due to a calf strain suffered at Washington. Clements’ early status for Miami is questionable. Clements has 21 tackles and a pass defensed in his three games this season. Also out for Jacksonville were CBs Jason Allen and Dre Kirkpatrick. Allen, out with a thigh injury for the Jaguars, joined the Bengals for 2012 as an unrestricted free agent. But the seventh-year pro has played in only one game, on Sept. 23 at Washington, logging two tackles. He missed Games 1-2, due to a quad strain that he first suffered in the early preseason. Allen had 10 INTs over the 2010-11 seasons, for Miami and Houston. Kirkpatrick, Cincinnati’s top draft pick for 2012, has yet to play in preseason or regular season, due to a knee injury. His early status for Miami is doubtful but he is expected back at least for the season’s second half. He earned multiple first-team All-America honors at Alabama last season. The 6-2, 190-pounder can physically challenge receivers and plays tough against the run. FS Reggie Nelson heads the safety corps. A first-round Jacksonville draft pick in 2007, he’s in his third Bengals season. He had five tackles at Jacksonville and is second on the team in tackles for the season (28).

— 11 —

(Position by position, continued)

He also has one pass defensed. He started every game last season and led the team in INTs (four), with a 75-yard TD. He’s also a powerful hitter. Third-year S Taylor Mays started at SS in the Jacksonville game and had four tackles. He has nine stops on the season. On Sept. 26, the Bengals signed S Chris Crocker as a free agent. The 10th-year NFL veteran played previously for Cincinnati from late 2008 through 2011, and he returned in fine style for the Jacksonville game, with a 23-yard INT return in the fourth quarter to set up a field goal. It is the defense’s only INT thus far this season. Crocker also had one tackle. S Jeromy Miles saw brief action on defense at Jacksonville (no statistics), and he had one special teams tackle. Rookie S George Iloka played on special teams at Jacksonville. He has two special teams tackles on the season. On Oct. 2, rookie CB Chris Lewis-Harris was waived. Special teams: The Bengals’ specialist trio from last season returns. P Kevin Huber was outstanding at Jacksonville, averaging a season-best 47.7 yards on three kicks. He had two inside-20 kicks, including one downed at the four-yard line, and he had no touchbacks. His net average equaled his gross at 47.7 For the season, Huber is averaging 44.1 yards on 14 kicks with a 42.2 net, and has nine inside-20s and no touchbacks. Huber was a Bengals 2009 draft choice and has played in all 54 games of his career (including postseason). He ranks second in club history in punting avg. (43.3 yards) and net punting avg. (38.1). Huber has also been a reliable holder on place kicks. K Mike Nugent was

perfect on FGs in preseason, including a 54-yarder, and he has made all seven of his tries in the regular season, including a pair of 35-yarders at Jacksonville. His first FG got the Bengals off to a 3-0 lead, and his second gave Cincinnati a three-score lead (at the final score of 27-0) with 12:38 left in the fourth quarter. Nugent set Bengals records last season for field goals (33) and points (132), and he had two late game-winning field goals. He made a comeback from a serious 2010 injury. The eighth-year vet is in his third Bengals season, and he also handles kickoffs. LS Clark Harris is in his fourth Bengals season and has had no unplayable snaps among 429 for his Cincinnati career. He made a fast and accurate snap at a tough angle to upback Cedric Peerman on a fake punt in the second quarter, and the quick delivery helped spring Peerman for a 48-yard gain that set up a TD. Harris also has two special teams tackles. Tied for the special teams tackles lead with four are HB Brian Leonard, LB Dan Skuta and LB Vincent Rey. WR Brandon Tate handled all the Bengals’ kick return duties at Jacksonville, averaging 11.0 yards on three punt returns. All of Jacksonville’s kickoffs went for touchbacks. Tate is averaging 9.7 yards on seven punt returns for the season and has eight kickoff returns for a 22.6 yard average. Tate has 58 career punt returns as a Bengal, meeting the requirement of 50 to qualify for the team’s all-time career rankings, and he leads at 10.4, ahead of second-place Quan Cosby (10.0). Adam Jones started at a CB position at Jacksonville and was held from kick return duty, but Jones had an 81-yard return for a TD on Sept. 16 vs. Cleveland, and for the season he is averaging 19.6 yards on five returns. Jones has averaged 24.5 yards on two kickoff returns.

THE LAST BENGALS-DOLPHINS MEETINGS 2007 SEASON

WEEK 17, GAME 16 Cincinnati Bengals 38, Miami Dolphins 25

Sunday, Dec. 30, 2007 at Dolphin Stadium The Bengals took full control early in the third quarter, when S Chinedum Ndukwe scored on a 54-yard fumble return for a 28-10 lead. Cincinnati expanded its edge to 38-17 in the fourth quarter before allowing a late score. WR Chad Johnson caught a pair of first-half TD passes, including a 70-yarder that was Cincinnati’s longest scoring play of the year. QB Carson Palmer posted a season-best 121.4 passer rating, completing 23 of 32 passes (71.9 percent) for 316 yards with three TDs and one INT. Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught nine passes to finish the season with 112 receptions, tied with New England WR Wes Welker for the NFL lead. The Bengals did not allow a sack of Palmer for the third straight game, and they finished the year with a club record-low of 17 sacks allowed, breaking a mark of 21 set in 2005. Cincinnati won its second straight to finish with a 7-9 record. The Dolphins fell to 1-15, tying the worst NFL record since adoption of the 16-game schedule. SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTS.

2012 GAME SUMMARIES WEEK 1, GAME 1

Baltimore Ravens 44, Cincinnati Bengals 13 Monday Night Football, Sept. 10, 2012 at M&T Bank Stadium

The Bengals tied their largest-ever margin for defeat in a season opener, but the contest was not a complete walkover. Cincinnati was on the move against the Ravens in the early third quarter, having scored 10 straight points to pull within 17-10, and enjoying a first down at the Baltimore eight. But the Bengals were denied a tying score, settling for a FG, and the Ravens responded immediately with an 89 TD drive for a 24-13 lead. Matters snowballed from that point for Cincinnati. The Bengals were done in by two frequent nemeses, RB Ray Rice (two TDs) and S Ed Reed (34-yard INT for a TD). Ravens QB Joe Flacco posted a 128.4 passer rating. SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTS.

WEEK 2, GAME 2 Cincinnati Bengals 34, Cleveland Browns 27

Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012 at Paul Brown Stadium The Bengals gave up 439 yards and saw three double-digit leads shaved back into one-score margins, but they consistently had the answers to keep the visiting Browns at bay. QB Andy Dalton posted a career-best 128.2 passer rating, with TD throws to WRs A.J. Green, Brandon Tate and Andrew Hawkins. The game’s first TD came courtesy of an 81-yard punt return by CB Adam Jones, and that score in a sense provided the difference, as the offenses tied 27-all in point production. The Browns hurt themselves with penalties, as their 10-for-103 yard total nearly doubled the Bengals’ figure. The Bengals moved to a six-game lead in the Battle of Ohio series (42-36), the largest margin in series history. Cincinnati improved to 1-1 on the season, and the Browns fell to 0-2.

WEEK 3, GAME 3 Cincinnati Bengals 38, Washington Redskins 31

Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012 at FedExField Cincinnati scored its most points in 44 games and turned back a pair of Washington rallies to log its third straight win over The Redskins. The Redskins erased a 24-7 Cincinnati lead to tie at 24-24 before the Bengals went up 38-24 with 7:08 left. Then the Redskins scored another TD and drove as far as the Bengals’ 19 in the final minute, only to see their second comeback bid thwarted. Bengals QB Andy Dalton had a career-high passer rating of 132.9, and WR A.J. Green had a career-high 183 receiving yards on nine catches. On the game’s first scrimmage play, Bengals rookie WR Mohamed Sanu lined up at QB, took a direct snap and threw a 73-yard TD to Green. The Bengals improved to 2-1, while the Redskins fell to 1-2.

WEEK 4, GAME 4 Cincinnati Bengals 27, Jacksonville Jaguars 10

Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012 at EverBank Field The Bengals turned the tide in their favor with a huge special teams play and then pulled away from the Jaguars with solid play on both sides of the ball. In the second quarter, with Cincinnati trailing 7-3 and apparently ready to give the ball back to Jacksonville, upback Cedric Peerman took a direct snap in punt formation and raced 48 yards to the Jaguars’ 18. Four plays later, the Bengals led 10-7. The Cincinnati defense allowed Jacksonville only 212 yards — by far its lowest opponent total of the season — and the Bengals’ offense racked up 382 yards, with QB Andy Dalton throwing for two TDs and scoring one himself on a sneak. WR A.J. Green had 117 receiving yards, recording the first back-to-back 100-yard games of his career. The Bengals improved to 3-1, while the Jaguars fell to 1-3. SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 OT PTS.
