Those were the middle games in the Bengals‘ 4 game win [...] Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who practiced this week despite suffering the fourth concussion of his career last week, will miss Sunday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Ohio State (4-1) [...] The Associated Press BEREA, Ohio — If Chad Ochocinco really wants to fight a mixed martial arts champion, Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan hopes it happens before Cleveland’s game at Cincinnati on Sunday. One week after Detroit’s Calvin Johnson caught seven passes for 161 yards against the Browns, one of the league’s worst defenses must contend with [...] Associated Press CINCINNATI — No Bengals team has been so perfect. With a victory over intrastate rival Cleveland on Sunday, Cincinnati (7-3) would run the table in the AFC North.

It would [...] Associated Press ATHENS, Ga. — Kentucky scored 14 points off four Georgia second-half turnovers and the Wildcats rallied to beat the Bulldogs 34-27 on Saturday night for their first win in Athens in 32 years.
