A good way to end the season even though the cmpetition wasn't tht greatest it will give the fans some hope for the future...

The Bengals (4-11-1) will most likely to stay the course after their latest losing season. Coach Marvin Lewis has two years left on his contract, and there is no general manager to replace – owner Mike Brown makes the important decisions.

The Bengals closed the season with three straight wins, two of them against teams that seemed to care less than they did. They shut out the Browns 14-0 and had little trouble with the lackluster Chiefs, who crossed midfield only once in the first three quarters.

The game served as a preview of next year's offense for Cincinnati, which was missing both tackles and receivers Chad Ocho Cinco and T.J. Houshmandzadeh to injury. Cedric Benson, who is a free agent after the season, scored on a 2-yard run and ran for 111 yards.

"Of course there will be other organizations interested," said Benson, who had three 100-yard games with the Bengals.

Houshmandzadeh also is a potential free agent, leaving the Bengals with their major decisions on offense. They could use their franchise tag to keep him for one more year, a move he wouldn't like.
