Now they feel time for us to assert our strength and have some teams fear At this point, the Bengals would far a YAL football team. In just five games, reputation has been severey tarnished. The gals, who last year posted a 104 record, have won only two games and those victories came against doormats Seatle and Greem Bay. One more defeat so early in the season would seriously hamper the hopes of staying alive in the tough AFC Central Division. yet, Cincinnati may be ace quarterback Ken Anderson today.

One of the finest passers ever to play in the NFL, Anderson sustained a knee injury against the Pits- burgh Steelers last Monday niyht. and wasn't even able to return to practice until Friday. and, while the Bengals came mighty close to upending the Steelers, Reaves was hardly spectacular. He does have plenty of help, though. The Bengals running game is stronger than ever now that Archie Griffin has returned from a rib injury to join powerful Bobbie Clark and versatile Lenvill Elliot in the backfield.

And Reaves does have a top ibre receiver to work with in Isaac Curtis. But yardage and points come easy against Orange defense, which is by far the best against the run and ranks fourth in the NFL (second in the AFC) in total defense. The Broncos, who employ the 3-4 alignment, have allowed only 33 points in five games. The matchup between offense and defense could prove almost as interesting, since the Broncos are hardly terrors on offense defense either set up or scored 17 of the 30 points against Oakland) and the gals not much better on defense.
