28-year old safety Reggie Nelson is having by far the best year of his NFL career in 2011.  Nelson has played in 9 games for the Bengals so far this year and he has 55 tackles, 1 sack, 2 forced fumbles, 1 interception (he returned it 75 yards for a TD), 6 passes defensed and 1 tackle for a loss.  He has now played in 25 games in his first two years with the Bengals and he has 109 tackles, 13 passes defensed, 3 interceptions (one returned for a TD), 1 sack, 4 forced fumbles and 1 tackle for a loss.  Nelson is playing like the player the Jaguars thought they were getting when they drafted him in the first round a few years ago.  The Bengals need him to keep up the good work, especially since they have lost CB Leon Hall for the year.

Disappointing day for Bengals

CINCINNATI -- A.J. Green went up between Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu, two of the game's best safeties. Green came down with the ball -- and a 36-yard Bengals touchdown. The Bengals' uber-rookie does things like that. Unfortunately, Green came down awkwardly on his right knee. He was down in the end zone for nearly a minute before being helped off. He came back and took...

Green touchdown catch where he went up over two Steelers safeties was a beauty and Andy Dalton’s touchdown throw to Jermaine Gresham in the third quarter was one of his best throws of the day. Now, let’s talk about the one thing that is preventing this offense from progressing another level...
