LONDON -- To get back to .500 and in contention for the AFC North lead, the Cincinnati Bengals need to win the strangest home game in their history, 3,955 miles (6,365 kilometers) from Paul Brown Stadium.Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says jet lag from Fridays red-eye flight to London wont be an issue when Cincinnati (3-4) takes on the Washington Redskins (4-3) at Wembley Stadium in London. He says the key question is whether the Bengals, red hot this time a year ago, can beat a team with a winning record for the first time this season. He counseled his players to hit the hay as soon as possible on the eight-hour flight.The focus was on ... the ability to shut down and go to sleep after dinner on the plane, and wake up and its Friday morning, Lewis said after the Bengals first groggy training session on a rugby field in north London.That advice was easier said than done for left tackle Andrew Whitworth, the Bengals biggest player at 6 foot 7 and 330 pounds. Before boarding Thursday nights flight, hed just been cleared to play after suffering a concussion last Sunday in the Bengals 31-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns -- and couldnt get his mind or body into the idea of early shuteye. A first-class fully reclining seat, it turns out, doesnt fit a Whitworth.They were made for people a little shorter than me. Id have to bend into a fetal position to fit.

That event, too, is designed to ensure players dont nod off too soon.Ive got no idea what time it is. The whole days been a blur, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. But Im sure the Redskins are feeling exactly the same way. Both sides need to wake up for Sunday.HEALTHY BENGALS: Cincinnati enters Sundays game at full strength on both sides of the ball. The biggest change could be felt in the passing game, where tight end Tyler Eifert is expected to be featured after seeing limited action last week versus Cleveland in his return from offseason ankle surgery. Eifert has been a favored goal-line target of quarterback Andy Dalton, catching a team-record 13 touchdowns last year.Eiferts return could boost a passing attack that has struggled to find the end zone despite boasting top-flight targets in the conferences receiving yardage leader, A.J. Green, and New England import Brandon LaFell .Obviously Tyler is such a big part of our offense, and having him back and ready to go is big for us, his ability to make plays, Dalton said. If hes the guy this week, itd be great.Washingtons roster, by contrast, looks like a MASH unit, with key starters listed as questionable going into their own trans-Atlantic flight. Among those Redskins nursing injuries and uncertain to play Sunday are running back Matt Jones, cornerback Josh Gordon and left tackle Trent Williams.Game notes The Bengals held their first training session on English soil without pads or helmets on the artificial turf field at Saracens Rugby Football Club in north London. Several dozen fans and curiosity-seekers, mostly local children who have the week off from school, cheered from the stands as the teams punting unit worked out under dull gray skies. ...

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.
