Bengals’ Pacman Jones Gives Birth To Child (Football) After Return TD

Another week, another memorable touchdown celebration in the NFL. This one, however, was a little weird. During the second quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals’ 30-16 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Bengals cornerback/punt returner Adam “Pacman” Jones returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown. After the play, Jones — who welcomed his first son to the world Saturday night — celebrated by giving birth … to a football. Check this out: And here’s another look at the celebration: OK, that was pretty funny. Here’s Jones celebrating the birth of his son, Adam Jones Jr.:

Bengals Fire Offensive Coordinator After Two Straight Games With Zero Touchdowns

Bengals Fire Offensive Coordinator After Two Straight Games With Zero Touchdowns

It’s not a good time to be a member of the Cincinnati Bengals organization. The Bengals are off to an 0-2 start this season with a 20-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 and a 13-9 loss to the Houston Texans on Thursday. The team failed to score a touchdown in either game, so on Friday, Cincinnati fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese and promoted its quarterbacks coach. Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis also released a statement about the firing, as posted by Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Bengals certainly needed a change, but it’s doubtful that Lazor is the answer. His experience as an NFL offensive coordinator

Gio Bernard Injury: Bengals Running Back Tore ACL In Week 11, Per Report

The Cincinnati Bengals lost 16-12 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but that might be the least of their concerns. They lost superstar wide receiver A.J. Green to a hamstring injury that reportedly includes a significant tear, and they also will be without running back Gio Bernard after he tore his ACL, per NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport. It goes without saying that Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton will need to find some new targets after these injuries, both of which could be crippling blows. Bernard has rushed for 318 yards and two touchdowns through nine games, but his real impact has come in the passing attack, where he’s tallied 296 yards and ... NESN.com

Patriots Keys Vs. Bengals: Fixing Defensive Deficiencies Among Week 6 Goals

Patriots Keys Vs. Bengals: Fixing Defensive Deficiencies Among Week 6 Goals

Rob Gronkowski made Week 6 quite a bit more interesting Friday, when he was conspicuously absent from New England Patriots practice. Gronkowski, who has dealt with a hamstring injury since training camp, causes a stir any time he’s not on the field. The big tight end is dealing with an illness, according to the Patriots, though no other information has been reported or revealed. The Patriots have just one fully healthy tight end on their roster, AJ Derby, since Martellus Bennet is questionable with an ankle injury and Greg Scruggs already has been ruled out with a knee injury. We’ll likely see Gronkowski take the field Sunday against the Cin... NESN.com

Peyton Manning Throws Pick Six To Seal Broncos’ Fate Vs. Bengals (GIF)

A quarterback threw a crucial interception in Monday night’s game, but it wasn’t Andy Dalton. With the Denver Broncos trailing by two points late in the fourth quarter, Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted Peyton Manning’s pass intended for Demaryius Thomas and scampered 30 yards into the end zone for a back-breaking touchdown. Manning’s interception — the third of four picks he threw in the game — couldn’t have come at a worse time for Denver, as it extended Cincinnati’s lead to nine points with less than three minutes remaining. Kirkpatrick intercepted Manning again with under two minutes to play, sealing the Bengals’ 37-28 win and guaranteeing them a playoff spot. The Broncos’ loss gave the
