Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco headlines today as on a Baltimore, MD raido station he admitted he sent care packages to the Baltimore Ravens secondary and to linebackers Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs.

Simply, Ochocinco doesn’t know when to stop.

What Ochocinco did is just sheer stupidity as this is the Ravens.

The last time somone did something of the sorts Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall wound up done for the year after the Ravens got word of his remarks.

The Ravens are a prideful bunch and all the stunt did is give them extra motivation in stopping the Bengals.

In the end Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and quarterback Carson Palmer need to show him where to draw the line with his antics before it really costs them.

At the beginning of the season the Ravens looked like one of the teams to beat in the AFC North.

However, a playoff birth is on the line as the Ravens are heading into a key stretch of games.

According to the Baltimore Sun, over the next three weeks the Ravens face three straight opponents that are coming off their bye week.

To make matters worst the first two games are against the Denver Broncos and Cincinnati Bengals followed by the Cleveland Browns.

With already being on a three game losing streak if the Ravens were to lose the next two games it would put a playoff birth in real jeopardy as  after the Browns the Ravens face the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers twice.

In the end the next tree weeks will show what kind of team the Ravens really are.

National Football League locker rooms are breeding grounds for viruses and bacteria as 65 players are crammed into close quarters.

There is no greater example of this than the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns earlier this week saw 12 players copme down with the flu.

Normally, that would be blown off to just being the flu season.

However, this is the Browns and they are notorius for a breeding ground of diseases.

The Browns have been hampered by staph infections as for several years now they have had at least one case.

It is obvious that most likely that the culprit of their problems is that someone who cleans the lockerroom is not using proper cleaning proceedures.

I know this from operating at one time a cleaning business and there are all sorts of horror stories; like someone cleaning hotel roonms using a brush to clean a toilet and then using that very same brush to clean the coffee pots.

In the end the Browns front office needs to bunker down and go over all the proper cleaning proceedures that the cleaners use.

The Cincinnati Bengals are a top of the Afc North with a 4-1 record.

Th( still has not translated to the box office as the Bengals are nowhere near selling it out.

It would be understanding if the Begals had a losing record.

However, they are looking great this year as their offense and defense is playing well.

On top of that they are coming off a huge win against the Baltimore Ravens from this past Sunday.

If this trend continues then Bengal fans need to start worrying as it is a clear sign that the city cannot or will not support its team anymore.

In the end Bengal fans better wake up, because this is after all what they been waiting for.

The Pittsburgh Steelers got a dose of bad newa as defensive end Aaron Smith is out until Jabuary with a shoulder injury.

So, the question will the Steelers defense. Be the same?

Smith is a huge part of their defense even though he doesn’t get a lot of recognition.

Most likely Steelers rookie defensive lineman Ziggy Hood.will replace Smith.

In the end Hood still isn’t smith, which means that there will be some drop off from the defense.

The Pittsburgh Steelers as expected took care of business by defeating the Detroit Lions.

Even though the score doesn’t reflect it the game was not close.

The Steelers sacked Lions quarterback Duante Culpepper seven times.

That is just pure dominance defensively.

The one area that many Steelers fans will be happy with is the running game as running back Rashard Mendenhall as he rushed for 77 yards on 15 carries.

In the end if the Steelers are for real their next step is proving that they can run against a top notch defense.

The Baltimore Ravens were the favorite going into this week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but went down in defeat.

What went wrong this week for the first time this year the Ravens vaunted run defense allowed a 100 yard rusher.

That means the Bengals controlled the clock, wore down the defense, and limited the Ravens’ number of chances the offense had to score points.

Also, quarterback Joe Flacco threw a costly interception in Bengals territory.

In the end we need to remember that Flacco is only in his second year and he is going to have bad games.

The Cincinnati Bengals stunned the football world as they came back from behind to beat the Baltimore Ravens.

What is amazing is the fact that the Bengals offense is 17th in the league in offense and that is without their top two tight ends who are on injured reserve and their top draft choice in left tackle Andre Smith has yet to play a down due to injury.

So, what is the key to their ressurgence?

That would be attributed to their running game as running back Cedric Benson is on pacer for his first 1,000 yards rushing season.

That means the defense is able to perform better as they are not always on the field anymore.

In the end as long as the Bengals stay healthy they have a good shot at winning the division.

The Cleveland Browns got their first win of the season as they beat the Buffalo Bills.

The Browns still have a long ways to go, but there is some signs of life on the Browns.

First, they have one heck of an offensive line as they held the Bills to only one sack.

The wide receivers did not help quarterback Derek Anderson at all as they dropped passes all day.

Defensively, the Browns need some better talent as they are over due to be addressed.

In the end what is killing the Browns is the play of their quarterbacks as even average play from them gets a lot more wins for the Browns.

Cleveland Brows fans are very loyal and passionate fans.

With what has transpired this year Browns fans deserve better.

On Wednesday the Browns traded wide receiver Braylon Edwards for two players and two draft picks.

Before the season the Browns traded away tight end Kellen Winslow.

In the ended the Browns are a mess that fans don’t deserve.
