CINCINNATI -- A pair of third-place teams knew exactly what this one meant. Either the Bills or the Bengals were going to walk off the field feeling their season was just about gone.Despite losing two more key players, the Bills were the ones still standing at the end.LeSean McCoy ran 7 yards for a touchdown before suffering a thumb injury on Sunday, and Buffalos defense held on at the end for a 16-12 victory over Cincinnati Bengals.Were in a desperate position, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. You look at it: We were kind of two teams teetering on the brink.The Bills (5-5) had lost three straight heading into their bye week. When they lost both McCoy and top receiver Robert Woods in the first half, things looked bleak. They piled up 183 yards on the ground -- the most against the Bengals this season -- to bust out of their long slump.Theyve got yet more injury problems, but at least theyre still in position to end their run of 16 seasons without a playoff appearance.I feel deflated about the injuries, coach Rex Ryan said. I know what this team can do. If we are healthy, we are going to be pretty tough.By contrast, the Bengals (3-6-1) are in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in six years.Playing their first game at Paul Brown Stadium in nearly a month, they couldnt move the ball consistently or make an extra point.Yes, its tiring, cornerback Adam Pacman Jones said. Its depressing. Its nerve-wracking. Whatever you want to call it.To make matters worse for Cincinnati, receiver A.J. Green left with a severely injured right hamstring on the Bengals first pass of the game. He couldnt bend the leg and was taken off on a cart.You never want to lose a guy like that, quarterback Andy Dalton said. Hes the best receiver in the league, so when you lose him it hurts.Some takeaways from Buffalos slump-busting win:RUN IT: Even with McCoy out, the Bills showed why they were ranked No. 2 in the league in rushing. Mike Gillislee filled in and picked up 72 yards, averaging 5.1 per carry. The Bills averaged 5.4 overall against a defense that has struggled to stop the run all season.Its good to spread the ball around, said quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who ran for 39 yards. It wasnt pretty by any means, but we got a win and thats all that really matters.DEFENSIVE TURNAROUND: The Bills came in leading the league with 30 sacks, but theyd also given up a lot of big plays as well -- seven completions of at least 50 yards. After Green got hurt, they clamped down and didnt allow a completion of more than 21 yards. They knocked down Daltons desperation pass in the end zone to end it.Its a look-at-me-now moment, Bills linebacker Preston Brown said.A.J.s INJURY: The Bengals will be without Green for the foreseeable future. He ranked third in the league in catches and second in yards receiving. Hes their only consistent deep threat, and it showed against the Bills. None of the other receivers had a catch of more than 16 yards.CANT RUN IT: Cincinnati had trouble running the ball again, which played into the Bills hands. Jeremy Hill managed only 62 yards on 16 carries. The Bengals ran for a total of 93, only 3.4 yards per carry.All season, its been mistake after mistake, Hill said.UPRIGHT KICKS: Mike Nugent hit the upright on both of his extra-point attempts while compensating for the wind. Nugent also missed an extra point and a field goal during a 27-27 tie with Washington on Oct. 30 in London.It just drives me crazy to have a poor performance that contributes to a loss, Nugent said. Thats the second time thats happened this year, that Ive contributed enormously to a loss. If I did what I was brought here to do, wed have two less losses, in my opinion.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jordan 5 For Sale .

LOS ANGELES -- The booing began early, when three of?Case Keenums first five passes were tipped at the line of scrimmage, and the fans continued throughout, almost every time the Los Angeles Rams starting quarterback threw so much as an incompletion.Midway through an eventual 13-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers?on Sunday, the fourth consecutive loss for the fading Rams, the boos evolved into demands.We want Goff! We want Goff! We want Goff!In the days leading up to this Week 9 matchup, Keenum talked about tuning out all the outside noise with regards to being supplanted by No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff. But on Sunday, in the Rams first game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in nearly a month, a crowd of 86,109 made that nearly impossible.Im glad the fans care, Keenum later said. I care, too. I put a lot into this. I put a lot of hours. I put a lot of work into it, and its something Ive worked for my whole life. Im glad they care because I care, as well, and when we arent scoring points, and we arent moving the football, its frustrating. I can tell theyre frustrated. Were frustrated, too.Keenum, 28, was coming off a four-interception game against the New York Giants in London, after which he had the NFLs lowest Total QBR. Then, on Sunday, he went 27-of-46 with a TD pass and an interception, and he nearly lost a fumble while absorbing one of four sacks. He led a methodical touchdown drive toward the end of the game, taking advantage of underneath routes while the Panthers were in prevent defense, but it came way too late.Afterward, Rams coach Jeff Fisher sounded like a man who is still not ready to make a change at quarterback.I would submit that Case was not the reason we lost this game today, Fisher said. We just didnt make plays in all three phases. Well circle the wagons with the coaches and look at the tape, but Im pleased with the way Case has fought. As I say consistently, repeatedly, week after week, Im pleased with Jareds progress.But still not enough to name him the starting quarterback, even though the Rams are now 3-5 and would benefit from providing the future face of their franchise with much-needed game reps.Keenum has thrown nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions, many of them cruucial.ddddddddddddThe complexion of the game couldve changed if not for a dropped pass from tight end Lance Kendricks:?Keenums pass bounced off Kendricks chest near the goal line just as he was coming off his route, forcing the Rams to settle for a field goal near the midway point of the fourth quarter.But there was also a play up the sideline when Keenum overthrew a wide-open Brian Quick.That was a touchdown, Quick said.Its just tough, man, Quick went on when asked about his quarterback being booed. Hes doing everything he can. You just have to be supportive, make sure that we help him make plays.The Rams entered the game ranked 30th in the NFL with 307.6 yards per game, and then managed 339. Their defensive line consistently brought pressure on reigning MVP Cam Newton, compiling five sacks, holding the Panthers to 244 yards, and giving the Rams a multitude of chances to pull ahead.But the offense went nine consecutive drives without a score. And with the passing attack not much of a threat, RB?Todd Gurley managed a mere 48 yards on 12 carries, the 15th time in the last 16 games that the star running back has failed to reach 100 yards on the ground.Asked about Keenum, Gurley said: Hes going to work hard. He prepares every week. A lot of people want to put the blame on him. Hes used to that. Thats what quarterbacks do. Obviously, the ball is in their hands all the time; obviously, theyre going to get the blame. But at the end of the day, were with him, we support him, and were going to keep riding with him.Fisher said he never heard the chants for Goff, which rang loudest from the Coliseums west end zone. Keenum heard them, and at one point had to quiet the crowd because his offense faced third down.Every week, it grows more difficult for Fisher to justify keeping Goff on the bench.Thats not something I think about, Keenum said. I get ready to play, and thats what I do. Im getting ready to play the Jets [on Sunday]. We have the 24-hour rule. For me, I have a shower rule. I take a shower. Good or bad, I rinse all the crap off.
