Bengals look to get back on track vs. Eagles

NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport has his thoughts on the game:

Week 15 primer:
» Ranking games in order of intrigue

Why this game is intriguing: If you thought the Philadelphia Eagles were going to roll over and take a nap for the rest of the season, you learned you were wrong last week. They might be looking at a coaching change, but players are fighting for 2013 jobs in Philadelphia -- just ask the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not good news for the Cincinnati Bengals, who must travel on a short week coming off a crushing loss to the Cowboys. Yet for the young Bengals, everything they want to accomplish is still out there for the taking. If their inexperienced offensive line can block a rejuvenated Philly front to spring BenJarvus Green-Ellis -- and if A.J. Green can rebound from a surprisingly poor game -- they should get back on track.
