Cincinnati Bengals 11/27/2007 9:43 AMThe Dayton Daily News reports for the Cincinnati Bengals to finish the season strong, WR Chad Johnson needs to maintain his consistency and not tail off. That was HC Marvin Lewis' message on Monday. Lewis wants to build on the momentum of Sunday's 35-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans. In order for that to happen, the Bengals must defeat the Steelers in Pittsburgh. "We've got to go out and finish strong," Lewis said. "That has to be a big emphasis. Obviously, if we don't finish strong, we're finished. We have no margin of error. We need a little help. We've got to go make hay ourselves. Each and every week is a big game for us."Read more
Atlanta Falcons 11/26/2007 1:12 PMThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports QB Joey Harrington will start at quarterback for the Falcons Sunday against St. Louis, according to head coach Bobby Petrino. QB Byron Leftwich practiced on Monday after missing Thursday's game against Indianapolis with a bruised tailbone but will not re-assume his starting job. At one point this season, Petrino called the switch to Leftwich "permanent."Read more
Miami Dolphins 11/26/2007 1:02 PMThe Palm Beach Post reports during 11 seasons and 172 NFL games, Steelers LB James Farrior figured he'd seen everything. Then RB Ricky Williams returned to the 0-10 Miami Dolphins last week. Now a mundane Monday Night Football game between winless Miami and Pittsburgh (7-3) has become must-see TV. "This is a little bit different than anything we're used to, having a guy who's been out of the league and all the stuff he's been through," Farrior said. "It's something we've never faced. "We look forward to seeing what he's been doing in his free time." Williams, 30, hasn't carried the ball in an NFL game since New Year's Eve in 2005.Read more
Cincinnati Bengals 11/26/2007 12:56 PMThe Dayton Daily News reports WR Chad Johnson couldn't help himself. It had been so long since he had scored â Week 2 at Cleveland â that when he finally got into the end zone, he was going to celebrate. Johnson celebrated all right. To the tune of a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty that led to a Tennessee field goal. As it turned out, all was forgiven because his Sunday show â 12 catches, 103 yards, three TDs â led Cincinnati to a 35-6 win over the Titans.Read more
