Bengals Notebook
No sellout, TV expected
By Mark Curnutte
The Cincinnati Enquirer
The Jacksonville game is not expected to sell out before today's 1 p.m. blackout deadline and will not be shown on local television. Only two of the Bengals' eight home games at Paul Brown Stadium sold out and have been on live TV.
SCORING MACHINE: The Jaguars, who beat the Bengals 13-0 in Jacksonville Sept.17, have the NFL's eighth-ranked scoring offense at 23.4 points a game.
They also rank in the top 10 in three major categories: total offense, sixth, 363.4 yards; rushing, eighth, 132 yards; and passing, ninth, 231.4.
Jacksonville (7-7) has scored 328 points and given up 282.
SNOW DAY: The Bengals changed their schedule Wednesday because of the snow.
Practice was moved from 1p.m. to 11:45a.m. to try to beat the snow's arrival, but some of the day's heaviest snow fell during practice.
It looks like my timing's perfect, LeBeau said. The only time it was going to snow was when we went out.
The snow was also a first for Farmer, who's from California, and Warrick, who's from Florida.
Warrick got in as soon as possible. Farmer said he made a snow angel and slid around in the snow.
SERIES: Jacksonville has won five in a row over Cincinnati and leads the series 7-4.
