OK, no shutouts there, but giving up five touchdowns in three games is pretty sharp. However, I will concede that I'm surprised to see the red zone softness, especially given that heroic stop of Vince Young in the preseason. Still, consider this: The game hasn't exactly been on the line in any one of the three Patriots' contests. Not that anyone was going in the tank, but why risk injury needlessly for a goal-line stand in a blowout? But, yes, Monday will be the Patriots' toughest challenge so far. “The defense hasn’t been dominant yet”

"8-8, here we come" has been an accurate descriptor for Lewis's Bengals (save for the 11-5 season in '05). Phil’s right.

This figure isn't even CLOSE to the correct record (27-21). Marvin Lewis is 12-36 as a head coach since 2003? This figure isn’t even CLOSE to the correct record (27-21).
