Sweet Play of the Week No. 2: Trailing Pittsburgh 17-14 early in the fourth quarter, Cincinnati faced fourth-and-1 on its own 30. Following professor David Romer's advice, the Bengals went for it and converted. Cincinnati did not score on the possession, but Marvin Lewis' decision to go for it on his own 30 communicated to his charges that he was challenging them to win the game, which they did.

 

 

 

 

 

Sour Play of the Week No. 4: The Browns led the Ravens 14-12 with 3:28 remaining and had second-and-goal on the Baltimore 4. Run twice and the icing touchdown is likely; if stuffed, take a field goal for a five-point lead at about the two-minute warning. Instead the Browns' coaches call a pass. Charlie Frye heave-hoes -- Aaaaaiiiiiiiyyyyyyeeeee! I can't look! Sometimes the best play a quarterback can make is zinging the ball out of bounds. Had Frye simply zung this one out of bounds, Cleveland likely would have won.
