6:30 p.m. Monday, Colts by 3
Last meeting
Colts won 45-37 at Cincinnati on Nov. 20, 2005.
Spotlight on: Bengals WR Chad Johnson
He doesn’t just dance. Dude can play. He leads league with 1,247 receiving yards, putting him on pace to break his franchise record of 1,432. No Bengal has led the NFL in receiving yards.
Who knew?
The Colts have been displaying an alarming propensity for struggling late in the season. They lost two out of their last three in 2005 and have lost three out of four going into this one.
Etc.
Tony Dungy 4-0 career vs. Bengals. Suddenly, Colts’ D isn’t only trouble spot. They’ve scored 17 or fewer points in four out of their past five. Matchup of AFC’s most prolific passers. Carson Palmer leads conference with 24TDpasses, two more than Peyton Manning. OK, we admit it.Wenever had heard of Bengals S Kevin Kaesviharn until he popped up among league leaders with six INTs. Honk if you’re the latest Bengal to be arrested. How shaky is Colts’ D? Indy has allowed 296 points, one fewer than AFCSouth cellar-dwelling Texans.
Prediction: Colts 45, Bengals 37
