CINCINNATI -- A lopsided victory over a winless team has given the Cincinnati Bengals a sense that their season has finally turned.The defending AFC North champions are back in the race after beating the intrastate rival Cleveland Browns 31-17 on Sunday in their best all-around showing of the season. Up next is the franchises first trip to London to play Washington.The Bengals (3-4) looked more like a contender against Cleveland (0-7). The offense piled up 559 yards, Cincinnatis best showing since 1990. Jeremy Hill ran for 168 yards and A.J. Green had 169 yards in catches, the first time in franchise history that a receiver and running back each had so many yards in a game.After struggling all season to score points, the Bengals pulled off one big play after another, including three touchdowns of more than 40 yards.When you put bad things on (game) film over and over, it kind of becomes what people expect from you, and thats exactly the opposite of what we expect, Hill said Monday. What we expect is what we did out there on Sunday. So weve just got to continue to put performances like that together, string them together, and build the confidence we need going down the stretch for us.The Steelers (4-3) and Ravens (3-4) lost on Sunday, leaving the Bengals only a game back in the injury-depleted division.

Tight end Tyler Eifert got into a game for the first time since ankle surgery in the offseason. He was on the field for 15 plays, and the Bengals plan to move him into a bigger role each week.Eifert set a club record for tight ends with 13 touchdown catches last season. The offense was complete with him back for third-down and goal-line plays. Cincinnati hadnt scored so many points since a 37-3 win in Cleveland last December.That was good to help us get back on the right track, Eifert said.The defense still has some issues. The Browns were down to their sixth quarterback after Cody Kessler got a concussion in the second quarter. Undrafted rookie Kevin Hogan made his debut and ran for a team-high 104 yards and a touchdown.

After Sundays game, they were tied with Washington for 18th in points allowed.Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said that once the Bengals adjusted to the change to a running quarterback, they played closer to expectations.I think if we continue to move in that direction, well be back, Guenther said. At the end of the year well be right where we were a year ago. Were just doing it the hard way this year.Game notes RT Cedric Ogbuehi, who was benched during a loss at New England a week ago, was in for 51 plays against the Browns. Eric Winston took his spot for 10 plays, giving the first-year starter a break. Now you step back and have an opportunity to take a deep breath, then go back in and finish it out, coach Marvin Lewis said. He declined to say if hed continue to give Ogbuehi a rest during games. ... LT Andrew Whitworth should be out of the concussion protocol by Thursday, Lewis said.

Rooney played the full 90 minutes in Englands 3-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Scotland on Friday, but missed training on Monday, along with left-back Ryan Bertrand, because of a minor issue. Southgate, who will complete his four-match spell as Englands interim manager against Spain, confirmed Rooney would not have started the game, even if fully fit, with Liverpool skipper Henderson taking the armband. I wouldnt have started Wayne in this game anyway, so well decide on which route we are going to take, but I would not be looking to start Wayne in this game, Southgate said. Wayne Rooney will not start the match at Wembley after missing training on Monday Jordan Henderson will be the captain and the key for me in that is I believe weve got several leaders, one sitting next to me [Joe Hart], who has shown a great maturity since Ive been in the role and I dont think we can have just one captain. I think at times, and I have said this already, too much of that responsibility is laid with Wayne. We need to share that, there are leaders already here and there are other potential leaders, who I think can step forward. Once you have a team full of those leaders, well have a lot of success.

Southgate refused to confirm whether he wanted the England job on a permanent basis Whatever happens in my situation, I wanted the players to have an experience that was both enjoyable, but challenging. We had a priority to be top of the group, we wanted to build on the performances that we had in October and then everybody has time to reflect, most importantly the FA. There was a short-term need for somebody to step in and take that role, whatever happens now will be a process that will be followed.

You should speak to everybody that you want to speak to because who knows, somebody might emerge that you dont know a lot about. Obviously there was a bit of a disadvantage to having games because everybody is assessing what you are doing in those matches, and nobody else is being judged on taking the team. But theres an advantage, from my point of view, in preparing for the matches we had.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!
