Cedric Benson laid torch to the Jets defense for 169 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries while adding three receptions for 12 yards.
The week of rest did Benson well. As the only effective member of the Bengals offense, Benson showed great change of direction, quick feet, and impressive acceleration. Breaking free for a 47-yard touchdown against the Jets' blitz, Benson nearly brought the Bengals back into the game in the fourth quarter. With another year left on his contract, Benson will return as the offensive focal point again in 2010.
