The New York Jets had their position for the playoff confirmed Sunday night by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 37-0. And they will have a rematch against the Bengals in the first round of the playoffs this Saturday at Cincinnati.
It was the Jets’ first playoff in three seasons. The team still appeared to be on the outside of the playoff hunt two weeks ago after losing a game to the Atlanta Falcons, and even Coach Rex Ryan mistakenly said his team’s playoff chances were over. But turnover then came. With the undefeated Indianapolis Colts pulling out Peyton Manning and other stars to the bench, the Jets won the key game over the Colts at 29-15. After that, wide receiver Braylon Edwards boldly told the fans that the Jets would not lose.
It was also the Jets’ first shutout at home since beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 6-0 on Dec. 14, 2003. A lot of people wearing green and white Jets jerseys waved white rally towels with the words “Win And We’re In” in green letters and the sky was filled with green and white confetti after the game.

Vikings returned to win
After losing last week’s game to the Arizona Cardinals, the Minnesota Vikings soon recovered and returned to the team ranking third in the league. They won this Sunday’s game over the mistake-prone Cincinnati Bengals 30-10.
The No. 28 purple Vikings jersey was seen everywhere on the field as Adrian Peterson ran 26 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns, contributing the biggest part to the Vikings’ victory. While quarterback Brett Favre was not doing best, completing 17 of 30 passes for 192 yards, one touchdown and an interception.
Peterson’s counterpart in the Bengals, Cedric Benson finally finished 1,000 yard for this season by having 16 carries for 96 yard in the game, but with the team’s loss, to having his first 1,000-yard season just became something less exciting.

Bengals DE Odom had severe injury in 28-17 loss to Texans
On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Houston Texans at 28-17, and they also lost top pass rusher Antwan Odom as well as some other key players to injuries during the game. According to Coach Marvin Lewis, tests would be held to determine the extent of the seemingly severe injury on Odom’s tendon.
Odom, the top defensive player in Bengals jersey during a 4-1 start, barged into the backfield and blocked Kris Brown’s 28-yard field goal attempt on the Texans’ opening drive. He was hurt on Matt Schaub’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Owen Daniels. He got blocked while trying to get to Schaub and stayed on his back in pain. After the medical staff had a look at the back of his right leg, he was carted off the field and did not return.
The other two injured starters were starting end Reggie Kelly and starting defensive tackle Domata Peko. Kelly had a torn Achilles’ tendon during training camp and is out for the season after having a surgery. And Peko suffered a knee injury in the first quarter on Sunday’s game.

Ochocinco booted an extra point in Thursday preseason game against Patriots
On Thursday night’s preseason game the Cincinnati Bengals playing against the New England Patriots, fans wearing tom brady jersey had to enviously watch Bengals fans cheering for Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco kicking an extra point.
“The most interesting footballer in the world” thus added another wrinkle to his colorful career as all-time leader in catches, yards receiving and name changing. Ochocinco booted an extra point late in the first half and led the Bengals to a 7-6 win over the Patriots. He also kicked off to start the second half. He really did well in the job which was supposed to be done by Shayne Graham, who was held out as a precaution because of a groin injury. Graham was watching the game in his bengals jersey on Thursday night.
Ochocinco, whose former name was Chad Johnson, never kicked in preseason or regular-season games, but used to kick in practices. He managed to kick the extra point after J.T. O’Sullivan had the only 24-yard touchdown pass to Chris Henry.
