Colts v Bengals - Battle Of Wills

Chad Johnson created quite a stir two seasons ago when he predicted the Bengals would upset the Chiefs, who came to Paul Brown Stadium with a 9-0 record. Sure enough Kansas City left with a loss.

On Sunday, the Colts arrive with a 9-0 record but the Johnson isn't talking this time. "Coach had a talk to me about that," Johnson said. "I'm going to listen to my coach and just say that Sunday's game should be a great game."

The last team to start a season 10-0 was the 1998 Denver Broncos, who won their first thirteen games. Only fifteen teams in the 86-year history of the NFL have reached 10-0, starting with the 1929 Green Bay Packers and ending with the Broncos.

The only team to have a perfect season in NFL history was the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who went 14-0 in the regular season and won all three postseason games.

"Talk to us about 16-0 when we get to 15-0," Colts' Corey Simon said. The talent in this league won't allow us to look any farther ahead."

The Bengals have plenty of talent. They are tied with the Steelers for first place in their division, thanks to an offence led by Carson Palmer, Johnson and running back Rudi Johnson.
