The Bengal Beat - Preseason Week 4 vs Colts

Bengals D, Ground Game Dominant in Preseason Finale

The starting unit took a lap around the field so to speak and then handed the ball off to the reserves in this Week 4 beatdown of the Indianapolis Colts. The score may look modest, but the Bengals defense was relentless tonight, racking up 5 sacks and allowing just over 200 total yards of offense.

The ground game was on display tonight as Bengals coach Marvin Lewis took the opportunity to clear up any confusion about who will be relieving Benjarvus Green-Ellis in the backfield this season. Both Bernard Scott and Giovani Bernard looked impressive but most of the carries were given to Scott who accumulated 87 yards on the ground.

With John Skelton sidelined due to a herniated disk for half the season, the Bengals relied on backup Thaddeus Lewis to carry the load at QB. Questions still linger going into week 1 of the regular season about the Bengals propensity to sign a 3rd active QB. If they do, it will mean the end of the road for someone in orange and black.

The regular season is up next. Fans of the Bengal Beat can expect a 2013-14 Season Preview coming very soon. Keep your head bobbin to the Bengal Beat all season long.
