RB Jeremy Hill has best game in Bengals' throwback win (The Associated Press)

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Jeremy Hill gave the Bengals a glimpse of the only thing they've been missing on offense.

The second-year running back had his best showing of the season on Sunday during a 31-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams. He ran for 86 yards and could have reached 100 if he hadn't twisted his left ankle in the fourth quarter.

It was a breakthrough for Hill, whose previous high this season was 63 yards.

''I think it's getting in the direction we want it to go,'' Hill said on Monday.
