The last televised exercise for Bengals had them on the winning side of a 9-6 score, but more importantly it was a proving ground for the rookies and the few coveted spots.
The Bengals upended the Colts Thursday night in a 9-6 titanic struggle. The final score is a perfect summary of the apathetic nature that always comes with the final preseason tussle. The game in itself was dull and sloppy. Fumbles and punts. While the seasoned Bengal players already assured of jobs this winter stood on the sidelines, no doubt staring at the still fresh chalk outline where their season died in January, the bubble players played on hoping to ensure a spot on the final 53-man roster.
