The Facts:
Ocho Cinco had made 102 straight starts before he was benched and sent home for insubordination in Pittsburgh last month. On Sunday he didn't start for the first time when he was active since his rookie year and there were a couple of different explanations. HC Marvin Lewis said, "I chose not to start him. My decision. I wanted to play the other guys a little bit." The Ocho's take: "I was stretching. I wasn't ready to go in."
