Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts are perfect no more, and that's just fine with them.

The red-hot Chargers are now AFC West champions. San Diego used a late Nate Kaeding field goal to win 27-24 and overcame a Bengals team that was playing with heavy hearts.

The Bengals are trying to clinch the AFC North in San Diego, but the Chris Henry tragedy will surely be on their minds.

The Chargers, meanwhile, are shooting for their ninth straight win.

The Bengals are placing extra emphasis on the running game to carry them through the grief of losing Chris Henry, says Peter King.

Think the first-place Bengals look good now? Just wait, says Don Banks. Also, the Broncos' free fall, the league's biggest fraud, the rise of a maligned QB and more Snap Judgments.

Sunday's most significant game? Probably not the one you're thinking. Peter King explains why the Bengals-Steelers clash -- and not Pats-Colts -- is paramount as he previews Week 10.

Cedric Benson and Tank Johnson both left Chicago under unpleasant circumstances. Adam Duerson can't wait to see how the reunion goes when the Bengals host the Bears on Sunday.

Things can change in the NFL in a hurry. Just ask the Bengals. Some beliefs were busted in a big way in Week 1, writes Don Banks.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Quarterback Carson Palmer is expected to miss another preseason game because of a sprained left ankle.

It should not surprise anyone that the Raiders are one of only five NFL teams that do not employ a GM. The Bengals, Cowboys, Patriots, and Redskins are the others.

Of these five teams we can only call on e of them (Patriots) successful.
