The Cincinnati Bengals had no problems beating the Minnesota Vikings today.  It was a blowout since the middle of the 2nd quarter.  The Bengals took a 28-7 lead into halftime and ended up winning the game 42-14.  Andy Dalton was 27 for 38 with 366 yards passing and 4 touchdowns.  AJ Green had 97 yards receiving and 2 TDs.  It was so bad for the Vikings that Cordarrelle Patterson outrushed Adrian Peterson in the game 54 yards and 1 TD on 3 carries to 45 yards and 0 TDs on 11 carries.  The Buffalo Bills did the Cincinnati Bengals a huge favor and shut out the Miami Dolphins 19-0.  Courtesy of the Bengals win and the Dolphins loss, Cincinnati has clinched a playoff berth.  Despite the win and the playoff berth, the highlight of the day, at least for those with no rooting interest in the game, was the fact that they had a monkey riding a dog as entertainment.  Yes you read that right…a monkey riding a dog.

If that doesn’t put a smile on your face even if you are a Vikings fan, I don’t know what to tell you.
