“The Bengals (10-6) won the NFC North last season with Ochocinco and Laveranues Coles as the starting wide receivers. Coles was released on March 4.”

Fact error Bengals play in the AFC North not the NFC North

“It’s always a physical division,” said Payton of the NFC South’s matchup with the AFC North this season. “They’ve always had great defenses, No. 1, historically, with Pittsburgh and Baltimore and I think Cincinnati has changed dramatically. Cleveland has begun to make their improvements. You look at a good defense right from the beginning and now you’re getting a healthy Carson Palmer, Ben Roethlisberger. Your quarterback in Baltimore who is playing better.

Missing quotation mark at the end of paragraph

New Seattle head coach Pete Carroll coached five Bengals at USC, including a Heisman Trophy winner in quarterback Carson Palmer and a Defensive Player of the Year in SAM linebacker Rey Maualuga . He’s got high hopes for Maualuga and is concerned about his DUI earlier this year. It’s believed that Maualuga is finishing up a monthlong stint in a southern rehab facility, not the Betty Ford Clinic as previously reported.

Monthlong is two words: Month long

"We don’t necessarily have a backup plan at this time. It’s early in this process and we’ll let the process run its course and kind of make decisions from there," Tomlin said Tuesday at the AFC coaches media breakfast. "I hope we don’t come to that. ... I think we’re in a position right now that we can kind of wait and see. Of course if we have to we will but I don’t think it’s gotten to that point yet where we need to kind of make those hard and fast decisions."


“Coaches” should be Coaches’ since it’s possessive.

"Their persepctive was how does it chage their world? What problems does it present for them?" Brown said. "And it does present problems they have to deal with. It's easy to discount those if you're sitting on top. I don't discount them."
On Tuesday morning before the vote, Lewis said he thought coaches would coach differently in the new format.


Two spelling errors. “Persepctive” should be perspective. And “chage” should be change.
