CINCINNATI (AP) - Cedric Benson's ran himself into a little bit
of Cincinnati Bengals history.
The running back returned from a two-game layoff because of an
injured hip and tied the team record with his fifth 100-yard game
of the season on Sunday, setting up a 23-13 victory over the
Detroit Lions that had even greater significance for the franchise.
The Bengals (9-3) assured themselves of a winning record for
only the second time in 19 years. The other one came in 2005, when
Cincinnati won the AFC North and lost its opening playoff game to
Pittsburgh.
After a solid first quarter, the Lions (2-10) went nowhere and
had the game end badly. Rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford
aggravated his non-throwing shoulder with 3:37 to go and didn't
return, watching the final minutes from the bench.
