Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - It took a second-half resurgence, but the
Cincinnati Bengals kept their hopes of a second straight playoff appearance
alive on Thursday night.
The Bengals scored 24 unanswered points in the second half off four
Philadelphia turnovers, as Cincinnati's defense stifled the mistake-prone
Philadelphia Eagles in a 34-13 triumph at Lincoln Financial Field.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries,
while Andy Dalton threw for 127 yards and a score on 13-of-27 passing and also
rushed for a touchdown in the victory.
Defensive tackle Wallace Gilberry added a 25-yard fumble return touchdown for
the Bengals (8-6), who have won five of six and own a 1/2 game lead over the
Pittsburgh Steelers for the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC.
Cincinnati travels to Pittsburgh next Sunday to take on the Steelers.
Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles finished 16-of-33 passing for 182 yards
with a touchdown pass, an interception and a fumble, while fellow rookie Bryce
Brown rushed for just 34 yards on 16 carries in the setback.
Jeremy Maclin hauled in four passes for a game-high 73 yards for the Eagles
(4-10), who snapped an eight-game losing streak last weekend with a last-
second triumph in Tampa Bay.
