| (MySportsbook) - A smash-mouth, field position-defined contest is not likely to be on the menu at the RCA Dome Monday night, when the Indianapolis Colts play host to the Cincinnati Bengals in a battle of two of the league's best offenses - and shakiest defenses. The Colts are well known for their high-octane attack, which features principles such as quarterback Peyton Manning and wideouts Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. But the big story emanating from Hoosier country at the moment is the poor work of a defe |

CINCINNATI (AP) -Pro Bowl receiver Chad Johnson smiled at the suggestion that the Cincinnati Bengals could use him as a tailback in their next game. Why not? The way teams have been running on the Indianapolis Colts' defense, there's almost no reason to throw. The Bengals (8-5) are next in line to try to exploit those big holes in the Colts' defense. They play at Indianapolis (10-3) on Monday night, a game that will have a big effect both teams' playoff outlook. Most likely, it will be decided more by Ru |

| Cincinnati, OH (MySportsbook) - A follow-up examination on the neck of Cincinnati Bengals linebacker David Pollack confirmed the need for more surgery. Pollack was examined by spine specialist Dr. Anthony Guanciale on Thursday and the diagnosis was made. Arrangements for the surgery are currently being made and it is expected to take place within the next several weeks. The surgery will repair damage that occurred when Pollack fractured his neck in a September 17 game against Cleveland. Pollack suffered no par |

Put stars like Chad Johnson and Marvin Harrison, Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning on the same field as those defenses and a shootout would be all but expected. The Cincinnati Bengals discount the hype. ``You know they're going to have 11 guys over there and we are going to have to block them and protect and run and pass and do the things we do,'' Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. ``Our object is to get a win.

Manning believes that will change this week as Indy tunes up for a showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals - a game it may have to win in a shootout. ``It starts on the practice field and getting in rhythm and trying to come out and be really sharp on Monday,'' he said. ``The idea, though, is to be sharp in practice.

Reliance on the running game. A fundamentally- sound defense and a well versed special teams. Cincinnati has all of those attributes in the aftermath of a 27-10 thrashing of the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, however in order to move from the "very good" to "Super Bowl worthy," the Bengals need to rectify a glaring weakness tha |

CINCINNATI (AP) -By the end of the week, the Cincinnati Bengals will have a good idea of whether their offensive line will rely on backups for their push toward the playoffs. Center Rich Braham and left tackle Levi Jones have been sidelined for much of the season by knee injuries. The Bengals have waited on them to recover rather than put them on an injured list, which would end their season and allow the team to replace them on the roster. Both are listed as doubtful for a game Monday night in Indianapoli |

NEW YORK (AP) -NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is trying to end the Cincinnati Bengals' continuing problems with the law. Goodell called Bengals president Mike Brown on Monday to offer his help. Eight Bengals players have been arrested this year - three since the commissioner visited with the team Sept. 20. ``Obviously, when you have incidents that don't reflect well on the National Football League you have to deal with that aggressively,'' Goodell said Tuesday during an interview with The Associated Press. |

| ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Oakland receiver Randy Moss is questionable for the Raiders' game against St. Louis after twisting his ankle. Moss injured the ankle after a 16-yard catch on the second play of the second quarter in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Moss limped off the field and did not return. ``When you turn an ankle over like that, it can be difficult, especially when you're a so-called skill guy making those cuts,'' coach Art Shell said Monday. Moss had two catches for 28 yards against |
