UNDER 300: Something's got to give Sunday. The Bengals have allowed only one quarterback to throw for 300 yards this season, when Matthew Stafford passed for 357 yards in Cincinnati's 27-24 win in Detroit. Rivers, by comparison, has thrown for more than 300 yards five times, including three 400-yard games. Cincinnati's defense has had some impressive games, holding Aaron Rodgers to 244 yards; Tom Brady to 197, when his streak of consecutive games with a TD pass was snapped; and Joe Flacco to 140 yards, the lowest by any opposing quarterback this season.
CORNERBACK CONUNDRUM: The Chargers said their cornerbacks were competing for jobs in the days leading up to the game. That revelation came after Derek Cox, one of the team's big free-agent signings, was benched for the third time in four games after allowing one touchdown pass and another big play in the win at Kansas City. As with most personnel matters and injuries, McCoy was tight-lipped on how the competition was going. Regardless of the starters, the Chargers will be tested by A.J. Green, who's caught 67 passes for 1,Nike React Sale,020 yards and six touchdowns. |
