And Then There Was One

The Cincinnati Bengals were victorious for the first time this season.

They withstood a 16-point, fourth quarter flurry from Jacksonville to hold on for the win.

Against the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions were not so fortunate.



The Lions had scored 23 points in the second quarter to take the lead into halftime, 23-13. It would not last.

Chicago backup quarterback Rex Grossman, subbing for injured starter Kyle Orton, scored the go-ahead TD with just over 5 1/2 minutes remaining in the game. Bears win 27-23.

If you're like my wife, you're probably asking yourself, "Where the hell is he going with this?" Well, I'll tell you.

The Cincinnati win coupled with the Detroit loss leaves the Lions as the front-runner in the Chris 'Beanie' Wells sweepstakes (unless you can think of a WR they should draft #1...kidding).

But seriously, the current standings would leave the Lions with the number one pick in the draft next April. They would probably take a QB, if one worthy of the top pick is out there. Otherwise, Beanie Wells looks to be a pretty good alternate, if he is healthy.

Any thoughts?
