Lewis knew there was a chance Cincinnati (10-6) would play New York (9-7) again in the postseason, so he had his offensive and defensive coordinators stick with basic game plans Sunday night. Still, the AFC North champion Bengals didnt expect to be outplayed so thoroughly, losing 37-0 against a Jets team that needed a victory to secure a playoff spot. Running back Cedric Benson was rested, but Cincinnati played the rest of its starters on offense until the game was out of reach. It finished with a franchise-worst 72 yardsnone passingagainst New York, which leads the NFL in scoring defense (14.8 points per game) and total defense (252.3 yards per game). Defensively, the Bengals were just as bad, surrendering 257 yards rushing. The Jets, with center Nick Mangold and left guard Alan Faneca going to the Pro Bowl, are averaging an NFL-best 172.2 yards on the ground. Cincinnati, outmatched physically in frigid conditions at the Meadowlands, must quickly find a way to bounce back as it returns home with temperatures expected to be in the low 20s. The Jets have won seven of their last eight matchups with the Bengals, and won the teams only playoff meeting 44-17 in the first round Jan. 9, 1983.
