Game 15 <strong>Bengals</strong> 14, Browns 0<br />

Sunday, Dec. 21, at Cleveland Browns Stadium<br />

The <strong>Bengals</strong> posted the ninth shutout win in franchise history and<br />

their second shutout win at Cleveland in the last three seasons. <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />

had four INTs, including a club-record tying three by CB Leon Hall, and<br />

allowed a season-low 182 yards. Hall scored the game’s first TD with<br />

a 50-yard INT in the first quarter. Offensively, on a cold and windy day<br />

(18 degrees, zero wind chill), the <strong>Bengals</strong> attempted only nine passes,<br />

the club’s fewest since 1974. But HB Cedric Benson rushed for a<br />

career-high 171 yards, most by a Bengal since Rudi Johnson’s 202 vs.<br />

Cleveland in 2004, and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick capped a 15-play, 89-yard<br />

drive for the game’s only offensive TD with a 20-yard scoring pass to<br />

WR Chris Henry. The <strong>Bengals</strong> regained the lead (36-35) in the “Battle of<br />

Ohio” series against the Browns and improved to 3-11-1 on the season.<br />

Cleveland fell to 4-10.<br />

Game 16 <strong>Bengals</strong> 16, Chiefs 6<br />

Sunday, Dec. 28, at Paul Brown Stadium<br />

The <strong>Bengals</strong> jumped on Kansas City early, building a 13-0 halftime<br />

lead. The Chiefs were held to 50 net yards and two first downs in the<br />

first half. <strong>Bengals</strong> HB Cedric Benson had his second straight 100-yard<br />

rushing game, gaining 111 on 25 carries, and his two-yard TD run gave<br />

<strong>Cincinnati</strong> a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter, capping an 87-yard<br />

drive. The Chiefs scored with just 2:20 to play, halting a <strong>Bengals</strong> streak<br />

of seven straight quarters without allowing a point. The <strong>Bengals</strong> had<br />

also gone nine quarters without allowing a TD. The <strong>Bengals</strong> allowed<br />

just 31 rushing yards (on 15 carries), their lowest rushing yield in 78<br />

games, since holding Miami to 20-for-25 on Sept. 19, 2004. The <strong>Bengals</strong><br />

finished the year with a three-game winning streak and a 4-11-1 record.<br />

Kansas City fell to 2-14.<br />
