CINCINNATI - Jeremy Hill got the ball on Cincinnatis first four plays, setting the Bengals on course for an opening touchdown drive in Cleveland. Wholesale Jordan 1 Black China .Hill kept at it all game, running for 148 yards during a 30-0 victory that kept Cincinnati atop the AFC North and left the Bengals one victory away from another playoff appearance.Credit a rookie who has kept them running in front.Jeremy did a great job running the ball, quarterback Andy Dalton said. We need to keep that going.Hill leads all NFL rookies with 877 yards rushing, ranking 11th overall. His latest big game kept the Bengals (9-4-1) a half-game ahead of Pittsburgh and Baltimore. He joined Rudi Johnson as the only Bengals running backs to have three games of at least 148 yards in a season.Hes the first NFL rookie running back with at least three 140-yard games since Cadillac Williams did it with Tampa Bay in 2005.Offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson has decided to make Hill the featured back the rest of the way, replacing Giovani Bernard as the starter. Theyd been splitting the role during games, but it wasnt working out.Jackson figured that giving Hill most of the carries would help him get into a flow.Its what Ive been accustomed to my whole life, just being the guy and getting the bulk of the carries, Hill said. Anytime I can do that, I can feel the defence out. Its just stuff you cant really do if youre only getting five or six carries.The game on Sunday was significant for the Bengals offence. Cleveland dominated during a 24-3 in Cincinnati on Nov. 6, with the Bengals held to 165 total yards. They went to Cleveland determined to run. They had linemen pulling on various carries.We hit them with a lot of stuff they havent seen before and a lot of stuff we have run over the year, Hill said. It kept them off-balance, and it kept them adjusting.The second-round pick is averaging 5 yards per carry. The last Bengals running back to average that for a season was James Brooks (5.1 yards) in 1990, which is the last season when the Bengals won a playoff game.The one outstanding issue: holding onto the ball. Hill has four fumbles this season, though the Bengals have lost only one of them.Hes got to hold onto the football though, or hell find himself standing by me more often than he wants, coach Marvin Lewis said. We cant have the ball on the ground. Thats important for anyone thats carrying the ball for us.The Bengals host Denver (11-3) and the leagues second-best run defence on Monday night. The Bengals can clinch their fourth straight playoff berth — a franchise record — with a victory. They end the season in Pittsburgh.A team that is known more for Dalton-to-A.J. Green is morphing into one that could be known more for Gio-and-Hill.Honestly, the running game has put us in the situation weve been in and we need to continue to believe in it and let it be a part of who we are, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. As weve grown throughout the year, the running game has continued to evolve and were getting better at it.In the games weve run it more, weve played really well. I think guys are starting to get more confident in it, like with anything else.Notes: The Bengals will clinch at least a wild card berth with a victory over the Broncos. They would clinch the division title if Pittsburgh and Baltimore both lose as well. ... Linebacker Vincent Rey is the Bengals nominee for the NFLs Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for philanthropy.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Discount Jordan 1 .C. -- When Michael Jordan speaks, people still listen. Fake Jordan 1 Off White . A night later, he was back to help lead a rout of the Detroit Pistons. John Wall had 20 points and 11 assists, and Beal scored 10 of his 15 points during the second quarter as Washington pulled away for a 106-82 victory on Saturday. http://www.bestfakejordan1.com/cheap-jordan-1-banned-outlet.html . Pedroia reached the milestone with a little panache, hitting a grand slam in the sixth inning and propelling the Boston Red Sox to a 7-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night.CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin says he has no plans on slowing down after needing just 11 games to establish new franchise rookie records for receptions, yards receiving and touchdowns in a season.So pardon the big man if he scoffs at the idea of hitting the so-called rookie wall.Benjamin laughs and says it better be a pretty tall wall.The physically imposing 6-foot-5, 240-pound Benjamin has developed into Cam Newtons favourite target this season and has proven Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman hit a home run with the 25th pick in this years NFL draft.Benjamin ranks second among a strong rookie receiving class in catches (54) and yards receiving (768) and first in touchdown receptions (8), putting himself in contention for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honours.And yet, he seems capable of so much more.Benjamin can be aggravatingly brilliant. On one play hell drop an easy pass or cut off his route to cause an interception. On the next, hell make a spectacular one-handed leaping grab in the end zone that reminds you of his incredible potential.Coach Ron Rivera said that inconsistency comes down to inexperience.Benjamin spent only two years at Florida State, including one as a starter. He turned pro after catching the winning touchdown pass in last years national championship game against Auburn.He has shown a lot of growth and is starting to understand what it takes to be a pro at this level, Rivera said. At Florida State it was evident that he was by far the better player. Here there are guys who challenge him.Veteran wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said Benjamin wants to be great.He listens, Cotchery said. You hear the stories about guys of this generation and they dont really listen to people. But hes a guy that takes in everything that Coach teaches him, and even listens to me.The Panthers drafted Benjamiin as a replacement for Steve Smith with visions of him becoming the teams No. Cheap White Jordan 1. 1 receiver down the road.They didnt know he would take to that role so quickly.Benjamin emerged as the teams top receiver in training camp. He opened the season as the starter and now leads the Panthers in yards receiving and touchdowns.Since Day 1, we never thought about him as a rookie, Newton said. And sometimes I have to remind myself that this is just his first year. Over time, he gets it. And when he gets it, its fun to watch and hes fun to throw to.Newton said Benjamin has even been there for him off the field.He has been one of the people calling me and tell me to keep my head up, said Newton, who has struggled at times during the teams current five-game losing streak.Benjamins numbers sometimes get overlooked as part of a rookie receiving class that includes Sammy Watkins, Odell Beckham, Mike Evans, Jarvis Landry and Brandin Cooks.But the Seahawks Richard Sherman praised the big rookie after he made a highlight-reel catch on a long pass between the cornerback and safety Earl Thomas during an October game.Hes huge, and he has a huge catching radius, Sherman said. You have to be aware of all that. He has speed. He made some fantastic plays.Cotchery said Benjamin has a chance to become one of the leagues best receivers if he continues to listen to Panthers wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl, a former NFL player.He can be as great as he wants to be, Cotchery said. Right now hes around a great coach who will continue to identify things he needs to work on. Coach Proehl is so detailed that he will find the smallest things you need to correct — and that will be a huge benefit to Kelvin. Because at the end of the day Kelvin really hasnt played a lot of football yet.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
