The Cincinnati Bengals survived a tough early schedule. They're not doing as well against the softer middle part. A week after losing to previously winless Tampa Bay, the Bengals welcome a much better NFC South team, the Carolina Panthers, to Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday. Subplot: Chad Johnson, who has just one touchdown catch this season against Carolina's Steve Smith, who has re-energized the Panthers. Carolina was 0-2 while Smith was nursing a hamstring injury and is 4-0 since he's come back, including |

| ery so often, Chad Johnson gets in touch with his receiving mate from Santa Monica Junior College, where their remarkable receiving careers got their start seven years ago. This was a good week to catch up. Johnson's Cincinnati Bengals and Smith's Carolina Panthers play Sunday in one of the weekend's most intriguing matchups - two teams headed in opposite directions for the moment, just like their star receivers. The Panthers (4-2) haven't lost since Smith returned from a hamstring injury. He had eight catch |

Johnson was practically demur on Wednesday, flat-out refusing to bait the Carolina Panthers who will cover him this weekend, or make any predictions how things will turn out. Given the state of Cincinnati's offense, he couldn't even bring himself to brag. ``Stuff is not going the same way it did last year, to where I can come out and b |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Thomas Davis and Al Wallace missed practice for the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday and are listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cincinnati. Running back DeAngelo Williams also missed practice and is doubtful with a sprained right ankle. He is not expected to return for a couple of weeks. Davis, a starting linebacker, suffered a rib injury against Baltimore while Wallace, a reserve defensive end, injured his arm against the Ravens. Safety Shaun Williams practiced Wednesday and |

| (MySportsbook) - It was only a matter of time before the talented offense of the Carolina Panthers became a force. No one thought it would happen this past week, however. Against a Baltimore defense chock full of Pro Bowl performers, including two former Defensive Players of the Year, and that had looked nearly invincible at times this season, the Panthers rolled up a season-best 414 yards of total offense en route to a hard-fought 23-21 victory Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. Most of that yardage came off th |
