Porn Valley- This week it’s Indianapolis vs. Cincinnati and the battle to see which quarterback unzips his fly and shows the longest pass. As of now Carson Palmer through nine games has passed for 100 more yards than Peyton Manning and leads in touchdown passes 18 to 17.
The Colts are riding high at 9-0 but Cincinnati knows how to knock teams with that kind of record off the perch. The Bengals, who are currently 7-2, beat Kansas City in 2003. The score of that game was 24-19 when Kansas City was also 9-0 at the time. The feeling is the Bengals, who haven’t been playing this well since the days of Boomer Esiason, can do it again. [If Dick Chaney loses Scooter Libby he might consider Boomer Esiason.]
Also consider the fact that no team has opened 10-0 since the Denver Broncos in 1998 and that puts some statistical pressure on Manning and Co. Ah, but of Cincinnati’s 7 wins- only one has come against a team with a winning record- Chicago. So many things to think about.
