The Bengals mostly looked like they were sleepwalking through this game, which was still good enough to secure a win.  This was definitely not one of Andy Dalton’s (179 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT) better games, but he did ok and that’s all that’s needed to beat the Rams these days.  Kellen Clemens (238 total yards, 1 TD) got the start this week for an injured Sam Bradford and he looked, well… at least as good as Bradford has looked this year.  Bradford is supposed to be a difference maker, but if he load his play from this season up against the play by Clemens and AJ Feeley, you’d have a tough time telling which one was the franchise QB.

Even though it was a slow day for Dalton, AJ Green (6-115) was extremely busy as the top target in the Bengals’ attack.  Even in Dalton’s worst days Green is still a good play as long as he’s healthy.  Jermaine Gresham (3-16) was the second target, but that wasn’t worth a whole lot this week.

Danario Alexander (3-52, 1 TD) seemingly popped up out of nowhere to catch a touchdown pass and post the most yardage by a Rams receiver.  Brandon Lloyd (5-42) got the most catches and targets again, but it will be interesting if Lloyd is back next year to see if the Rams can get a secondary threat opposite him to take the double team heat off of him.

Cedric Benson (22 car., 76 yards, 1 TD; 1 rec., 11 yards) didn’t look so good for much of the game, but he did score a second half TD to salt the game away for the Bengals.  Benson is boring, but he gets the job done and usually has enough fantasy points to make him a worthwhile start as a RB2.

Steven Jackson (18 car., 71 yards; 9 rec., 72 yards) had a very good game in total yardage going up over 140 yards against a pretty stout run defense.  It’s unfortunate that Jackson has wasted the best years of his career with a Rams team that offers so little support for a guy who would put up awesome numbers every week in a real offense.
