CINCINNATI -- As Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco stood in his own end zone beneath the shadows of his own goal posts, only one presence loomed larger.
Even with the game all but over, Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson was still on the hunt for one more sack. That's why Flacco spent the last sequence of last week's game under pressure from one of the NFL's premiere edge rushers. Hendrickson hit Flacco on the last play of Cincinnati's 17-16 win, a little extra thump for good measure.
Hendrickson did not have the typical ramp-up to the season because of a contract standoff that wasn't settled until two weeks before Week 1.
