CINCINNATI (AP) -Carson Palmer didn't bother to watch the Pro Bowl last February. Instead, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback spent the day attending to the knee injury that had ended his playoffs after one pass and prevented him from attending that game in Hawaii. Against all odds, he's getting another chance one year later. Palmer is one of three Bengals picked again this week for the Pro Bowl, the final touch on a comeback that has surpassed expectations. Less than a year after his knee was rebuilt, P |

CINCINNATI (AP) -One very bad night in Indianapolis crushed the Cincinnati Bengals' late-season momentum and left them with no margin for error if they want to make the playoffs. They know they can't go to Denver and lose again. Given a chance to take control of the AFC wild card race, the Bengals played their worst game in more than a month. A 34-16 loss to the Colts on Monday night left Cincinnati tied with three other teams at 8-6. Only two of them will get wild card berths. Their game Sunday at Denve |

| (MySportsbook) - Nothin' like a little home cookin' to cure what ails ya. The Colts can surely attest to that old cliche after Monday's fairly dominant 34-16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at the RCA Dome ended a two-game skid and kept Indianapolis on pace with Baltimore in the race for a first- round playoff bye. Both the Colts and Ravens are now 11-3 and trail San Diego by one game for home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Colts currently own the tiebreaker over the Ravens, but one of th |

There is a lot of pressure,'' said Palmer, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback who won the 2003 Heisman for USC. ``It adds some pressure because all week long, they're going to be talking about the national championship game with the Heisman winner and all that.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts were the best regular-season team in football and the Cincinnati Bengals were AFC North champs last year. This year, both were expected to make a Super Bowl push. Instead, they're both looking for a late-season charge to get their playoff hopes back on track. ``It's better that way, not to be in a comfort zone where everything is already set in stone, but sort of clawing your way, digging your way out of this hole,'' Bengals receiver Chad Johnson said. ``Fighting f |

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined comment. The Bills and Cincinnati Bengals were the only teams that voted against the CBA. And both teams were also the only ones to vote against the league providing $300 million loans to the New York Giants and Jets to help build a new stadium, which is expected to open in 2010. ``My new |
