The Bengals started well — at least three sacks in each game — and have only gotten better each week, culminating in a double-digit fantasy day against the Steelers. The Bengals are fourth in defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA), according to FootballOutsiders.com, and they’re sixth in points allowed per game (18.0).

“I believe this requirement is necessary and, therefore am deeply troubled by the school’s decision which calls into question its adherence to the doctrines of the Catholic faith,” he said in the statement. “In turn, I want to let everyone know that I am taking this matter to prayer and discerning how to proceed.”
“I just want to come in and win, man,” LaVine said. “Individual accolades come along with winning. Obviously we all have different things we all want to set for ourselves individually, but my main thing is to come in here and help the team win and let everything else set the course for where it is, ‘cause winning will take care of everything.
“Sometimes it can be a breakdown in protection, sometimes it can be the ball’s not out in time, sometimes it can be good coverage by the defense, sometimes it can be a bad play call,” Nagy said. “When you go through the game, there was probably a combination of all of that at some point in time yesterday. For a young quarterback having his first start, there are going to be looks that defensive coordinators present. They might disguise some things.
Not to be overlooked are the Raiders and Chargers, two AFC West teams that were expected to fight for a wild-card berth behind the juggernaut Chiefs this season. With Kansas City suddenly in last place in the division, there’s hope. Las Vegas had to sweat out a 31-28 overtime win over Jacoby Brissett and the Dolphins, but Derek Carr (386 yards, two touchdowns, one interception) is on pace for the most single-season passing yards in NFL history and the defense is continuing to come through in big moments. For Los Angeles, a road win over Kansas City is proof that Herbert and new coach Brandon Staley are capable of big things, especially if superstar safety Derwin James stays healthy as the anchor of the defense.

Pence, a college track coach, finished with a personal best of two hours, 15 minutes and six seconds to become the first U.S. runner to win the marathon in 20 years.

“The biggest thing for us, it’s so hard to sit there and make predictions or project what is or is not going to happen,” he said. “For me to sit up here and say, OK, we haven’t had one practice or one game with each other, and to say what we’re going to look like weeks, months from now, it’s going to be hard to say. But certainly the expectation is you want to be able to compete at the highest level and make deep runs in the playoffs.
