Bengals...23 Lions...13

Key: Cedric Benson returned from a two-game layoff because of an injured hip and tied a team record with his fifth 100-yard game of the season as the Bengals assured themselves of a winning record for only the second time in 19 years.

Bengals said: “I love carrying the ball that much. It usually just means we’re putting a team away, and I love putting teams away.” -- Benson

Lions said: “Our quarterback got hit way too often today and there were times when he got hit for no reason.” -- Jim Schwartz, coach
