BENGALS ...23 LIONS ...13 Cincinnati running back Cedric Benson returned from a two-game layoff because of an injured hip and tied the team record with his fifth 100-yard game of the season. The Bengals assured themselves of a winning record for only the second time in 19 years. The other one came in 2005, when Cincinnati won the AFC North and lost its opening playoff game to Pittsburgh. After a solid first quarter, the Lions went nowhere and had the game end badly. Rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford aggravated his non-throwing shoulder with 3:37 to go and didn't return, watching the final minutes from the bench. Benson finished with 110 yards on 36 carries, becoming the third different Bengal to run for 100 yards in the past three games. Carson Palmer threw for 220 yards and a TD to Chad Ochocinco. ...more
