Rams coach Jeff Fisher unloads on reporters at press conference

The game matches two of NFL's top defensive tackles.

Heading into NFL Week 12 action, the Cincinnati Bengals are set to face off against the St. Louis Rams.

The St. Louis Rams have a talented defense, a stud rookie running back and a couple of nice weapons on offense, so they probably should be better than their current 4-7 record. We saw more of that on Sunday afternoon following the Rams defeat in blowout fashion at the hands of the Bengals.

"We won our matchup with their offensive line", Dunlap said.

"We've all contributed to this", Laurinaitis said. "I just rolled my ankle". "I think it will be big going down the stretch".

Nonetheless, the strain is beginning to show on Fisher.

"Anyone that implies it's an effort issue - they can kiss my ass", Fisher said. He could be right about it not concerning effort but everyone else is also right when they say that this team is not the same team that gave so many people hope back in week 8. "It's 70 percent offense and 30 percent defense. It's execution.... Our teams always play hard".

Which may be exactly the point.

There was a follow-up question regarding whether Fisher feels he has done a good enough job with the Rams. And it doesn't happen.

The Raiders (5-6) halted a three-game losing run, while the Titans (2-9), who had led 21-17, went down for the ninth time in 10 games. Jenkins did his part, as the longest play he allowed in part was a 14-yard catch from Green, putting the Bengals in position for their first score of the day.

LEAPING LEON: Hall's interception and 19-yard return for a touchdown pretty much iced the game. He has seven touchdowns and nine interceptions this season.

"It's frustrating", Gurley said. But at the end of the day, things could be a lot worse. More importantly, we're undefeated in our division...

However, don't look for the young signal-caller to become the Rams' starter quite yet. Jeremy Hill seemed to find his stride, as he rolled up 86 yards on 16 carries. David Johnson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the third for the 9-2 Cardinals, who still lead the NFC West by three games over Seattle. Just turn to the Tyler Eifert's 22-yard strike from Andy Dalton.

Foles started against Cincinnati because Case Keenum was not cleared in the league's concussion protocol, but he was not able to take advantage of another opportunity. Foles went 30 of 46 for 228 yards. Green connection, even though the two have experienced a bit of a drop-off in production over the past few games. Rob didn't have to play, so I would expect there will be a really good chance that he'll get back to the right tackle spot this week. "Foles said." It's one of those things where it's just a bump in the road and you learn. "Where we got third-and-forever". "We are honored to help grow the game overseas". "We have had no formal discussions with the Rams about their 2016 intentions or a London game in 2016, but if they do play in the Dome in 2016, the terms of the lease remain in effect and provides that all Rams NFL home games (other than preseason) will be played at the Facilities".

Coach Jeff Fisher got his team through a week that included receiver Stedman Bailey getting shot on Tuesday in Florida.

As for anyone questioning the effort of the team Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium - pucker up. "I know everybody in this locker room is hurting".
