The Bengals came off of two consecutive losses, with their defense giving up 34 points to the Cardinals last week. They clamped down on the Rams' offense this week, thanks in part to some fuel provided by St. Louis players.
Since Vontaze Burfict returned to the Cincinnati Bengals' lineup against the Steelers over a month ago, their defense hasn't given up 100 rushing yards against an offense in four games. Through Weeks 8-11 (three games because of the team's bye week), Cincinnati's defense averaged an allowance of just 10 points per game against the Steelers, Browns and Texans.
