_Pro Bowl left tackle Andrew Whitworth has been on teams that have made the postseason six times so while he wasn’t using the must word before Thursday’s game, he was using the huge word after the 22-7 victory over the Dolphins at Paul Brown Stadium.
“It was huge. Huge. The next month doesn’t get any easier,” Whitworth said of the three road games in October. “We know that. Now we’ve got to get to the (Nov. 6) bye in the next four games by putting our head down.”
_It was a defensive masterpiece for the Bengals in the final 54 minutes, when they kept the Dolphins out of the red zone holding them to three out of 15 on third down and to just 148 yards of offense.
