CINCINNATI (AP) -Halfway through the season, the Cincinnati Bengals' offense is starting to play the way everyone expected. Maybe it's a function of the defensive coverage. Maybe it's the result of a slight change in philosophy. Maybe it was just overdue. Whatever the reason, the Bengals looked like one of the NFL's top offenses again Sunday during a 49-41 loss to San Diego, an offensive breakthrough overshadowed by a defensive collapse. ``We had the loss, but we made some strides on offense,'' receiver |

Others also are hoping for a rout when Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith puts his Heisman Trophy candidacy on the line against the Wolverines' strong defense. ``Ain't no ifs, ands or buts about it. It's a blowout,'' said Cincinnati Bengals running back Chris Perry, a Michigan grad. ``(Defensive tackle Alan) Branch is going to knock the stuffing out of - what's his name? - Troy Smith. He shouldn't even win the Heisman. He's not going to win his league or the national championship.'' |

Any list of the NFL's most disappointing teams has to start with the Cincinnati Bengals, a vogue pick for a Super Bowl run after their 3-0 start. Since then, they've lost five of six and morphed into a souped-up version of the old Bungles. They squabble. They fuss. They lose. And, like in the old days, there's plenty of blame to go |

CINCINNATI (AP) -Defensive lineman John Thornton tried to be inconspicuous at a restaurant on Monday, hoping to avoid a rehash of the Cincinnati Bengals' mammoth collapse. Not a chance. Not after that 42-point half. ``I went out to eat breakfast with my dad this morning, and the waitress said: Did you see the Bengals game?'' Thornton said. ``She started going off on us, man. And then, she found out who I was. She kind of got red-faced.'' Just like the Bengals defense. After putting themselves in positi |

CINCINNATI (AP) -LaDainian Tomlinson tied his career high with four touchdowns, and Philip Rivers threw a touchdown pass under pressure that completed the Chargers' furious rally Sunday for a 49-41 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. For Rivers, it was the type of comeback that defines a quarterback - and a season. Then again, this one could be a turning point for both teams' seasons. San Diego (7-2) scored 42 points in a second-half comeback that was characteristic of the old Air Coryell days. Instead of |

Cincinnati is currently eighth in the conference standings, and is two games behind Baltimore for first place in the AFC North division. The Bengals were in Baltimore last week and were handed a 26-20 setback by the Ravens. Baltimore scor |

Phillips skipped the past two games since being hurt Oct. 22 in the loss at Kansas City. He is expected to start Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals as the Chargers go for their third straight win.

CINCINNATI (AP) -Arrests on land and water. Benchings for misbehavior. Suspensions for substance abuse. In the past year, the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals have turned into the NFL's two top examples of why character counts. Their rap sheets are nearly as extensive as their play lists. So far, there's one big difference between them. As they prepare to meet Sunday in Cincinnati, the Chargers are dealing with their trouble a whole lot better. The Chargers (6-2) are tied with Denver for the |
