The Facts: The Bengals had a real injury scare in the first quarter. Hill went down after an awkward tackle that ended when he had the ball ripped from his hands.
Diehards Line:Hill's left knee was evaluated on the field and sideline, but he returned on the next drive. Ball security was a bigger issue. Hill was benched after his second fumble of the game. Giovani Bernard came off the bench in relief of Hill to rush for 123 yards on 20 carries in Cincinnati's win over San Diego. Teammates offered support for Hill after the game. We'll see if their confidence is shared by the coaching staff.
