CINCINNATI -- A 22-mile stretch of interstate became the Cincinnati Bengals' road to the playoffs.
With high winds and no covered practice field, the AFC North leaders had to hurriedly change their practice plans Wednesday for a game against the Minnesota Vikings. They got buses to take them one county north to an indoor soccer complex.
Players and coaches weren't happy. Quarterback Carson Palmer says he's resigned to the fact that the franchise will never build its own covered practice field.
If the Bengals (9-3) win in Minnesota (10-2), they would secure the division title. They also would clinch if they lose - and Baltimore and Pittsburgh lose as well. It would be only Cincinnati's second playoff berth in the last 19 years.
