Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who prior to being stoned by the Pittsburgh Steelers for a season-low 14 yards rushing, was setting an impressive pace of 100-yard games that nearly reset franchise records, sat during Thursday's practice with an illness.
There's no reason for Green-Ellis not to go, but if the team decides to rest their starting running back on Sunday (and I don't believe for a minute that the starters will play the entire game), Cedric Peerman would likely start.

The 2012 NFL season has been full of upsets, questionable wins and basically things that don’t make any sense.
At the beginning of the season, odds were Andy Dalton, A.J. Green and the Cincinnati Bengals weren’t going to take over the Steelers in the AFC North, but they did just that by knocking them out of the playoffs. A bit of payback for all those years the Bengals have...

The hiring of Marvin Lewis marked the end of the Lost Decade. In the wake of an extended period of football futility, most of Lewis’ tenure as head coach has been spent trying to steady a team that has lurched and backfired and stalled like a stick-shift AMC Pacer with a 16-year-old behind the wheel.
In Lewis’ first two seasons, he lifted a team that had gone 55-137 in their...

Bengals' Atkins recognized as one of NFL's best
Geno Atkins gets a lot of attention every time an opponent watches film trying to figure out how to contain the Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle. His first selection as a Pro Bowl starter shows what they think of him.
The undersized lineman is considered one of the NFL's best.
The third-year player was chosen as a Pro Bowl starter on Wednesday, his first such honor. He was...

Josh Brown kicked the Cincinnati Bengals into the postseason, and the team's playoff fortunes could continue to ride on the veteran's right leg with Mike Nugent placed on injured reserve. Nugent has been out since Week 13 with a right calf strain. Brown was signed after the Bengals worked out several veteran kickers after Nugent's injury. Cornerback Chris Lewis, an...

The Bengals are locked in to the 6th seed of the playoffs no matter whether they win or lose against the Ravens. So it is natural to wonder whether Marvin might choose to sit rest some of his normal starters in the season finale. Of course, Marvin was asked about it. He gave what I say is the right answer: No. It’s not the right answer because the front office is still hoping to...

I watched the NFL Network re-air the Bengals deliver the knock-out blow to the Steelers Wednesday night. The game was just as fun the second time, but far less stressful. During a commercial break, I saw NFLN’s blurb covering the QBs named to the Pro Bowl. (Because, you know, we fans care only about quarterbacks, right?)
Honest to God, this is no joke. Whoever wrote the script...

Below is the week 16 offensive line breakdown for the Pittsburgh Steelers loss to the Cincinnati Bengals this past Sunday.
Not a great showing in this game from the group as a whole as they allowed four sacks and several pressures in the game. The run blocking also was not up to standard as they had trouble controlling the interior of the line.
