Bengals Nugent named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month
Bengals kicker Mike Nugent has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month by the NFL, according to a press release from the team.
Nugent, who starred at Centerville High and The Ohio State University, went eight-for-eight on field goal attempts during the Bengals’ three September games, including FGs of 54 and 50 yards. Among NFL kickers who are yet to miss a FG try, Nugent has the most total FGs by three.
On Sept. 19 vs. Baltimore, Nugent made all five of his FG tries, scoring all of Cincinnati’s points in a 15-10 win. It is the most FGs in a game this season in the NFL. That performance, along with three touchbacks on kickoffs, earned Nugent an AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award.
Nugent is also perfect on PATs for the season (five-for-five), and for the season he has reached the end zone on nine of his 16 kickoffs, with five going for touchbacks.
The last Bengal to win a Player of the Month award was DE Antwan Odom, in September of last year. The last Bengal to win an AFC Special Teams Player of the Month award was kick-returner Brandon Bennett, in November of 2002.

TweetSex line number printed on Ochocinco’s cereal - thanks Pittsburgh
Honest mistake or another case of Pittsburgh sabotage (see Kimo von Oelhoffen)?
You decide …
The Pittsburgh-based company that designed and distributed Chad Ochocinco’s cereal “Ochocincos” printed the number to a sex line on the box, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported this morning.
Instead of sending callers to the Feed The Children charity, the number on “Ochocincos” is answered by a seductive-sounding recording saying things like “We can be whatever you want us to be” and “It is your fantasy.”
The charity’s number is 1-888-HELP-FTC, but the geniuses at PBL Sports used 1-800-HELP-FTC instead.
Nice quality control, PBL.
But, maybe there’s a perfectly logical explanation.
Perhaps there’s a cereal coming out for Ben Roethlisberger and the company just mixed up the numbers?
Kroger Co. told the Associated Press today it was pulling all Ochocinco cereal boxes from its grocery shelves because of the error. Ochocinco told WCPO-TV that the number was clearly a mistake and he’s sure that the maker will fix the problem, according to AP.
