Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco took some playful shots at Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis on Wednesday. "Darrelle Revis couldn't cover me in a brown paper bag on a corner of a Manhattan street inside a phone booth," Ochocinco said in a conference call. "It's impossible." Revis, selected as a Pro Bowl starter, was unavailable to comment because he was sent home early due to an illness. "I doubt that," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "I like him, like the way he plays and all that. Hope he doesn't play this week, but anytime we play him, he's always got comments. I think it's good, good for the game."

Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley thinks the Patriots and Bengals will "lay down" for their opponents on Sunday because they don't want the defending Super Bowl champs to make the postseason. The Steelers (8-7) would reach the postseason for the fifth time in six seasons if they beat Miami, the Patriots defeat Houston, and the Bengals beat the New York Jets. "All of them lay down," Woodley said Wednesday. "No one wants to see Pittsburgh in it. That's just how it is. Everybody knows we're a dangerous team once we get into the playoffs, no matter how we played the whole year. Once we get into the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers is a playoff team."

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says that he won't lobby for help from the Bengals and Patriots this Sunday. In order to make the postseason, Pittsburgh needs to win this Sunday and see some of their competitors lose. "I could care less how the Bengals approach what it is they do," Tomlin said Tuesday.

The Bengals defeated the Chiefs on Sunday to clinch the AFC North title. Cincinnati beat Kansas City 17-10 at Paul Brown Stadium. Carson Palmer connected with Chad Ochocinco on a six-yard touchdown pass with 2:03 remaining to give the Bengals a victory. They clinched the division just five days after they buried teammate Chris Henry. "I'm not jumping for joy or glee, just thinking about 15 once that clock hits zero," Ochocinco said. "That was everybody's mindset, to go out and win this one for him."

Bengals running back Larry Johnson says that he has no grudge against the Chiefs. Johnson will face off against Kansas City with Cincinnati on Sunday. "It will be kind of like me practicing against my friends," Johnson said. "A lot of those guys I haven't seen in six or seven weeks. It will be great to get out there and play for real."

Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall honored Bengals receiver Chris Henry by wearing "Henry" on the back of his jersey during warmups. Marshall, who wears No. 15 like Henry, had his own name displayed by the time Denver's game against Oakland started. ProFootballTalk points out that Marshall could face a stiff fine. The following picture, which was posted on Twitter, shows Marshall honoring Henry: http://twitpic.com/uecmc

Chris Henry's funeral will be held on Tuesday in New Orleans. The former Bengals wide receiver grew up in the New Orleans area. Henry died in North Carolina on Thursday, a day after falling out of the back of a pickup truck during what police described as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.

Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco doesn't want to be a distraction in Sunday's game against the Chargers. He thought about wearing deceased teammate Chris Henry's No. 15, but is unlikely to do so. Ochocinco wore Henry's practice jersey during the week and the NFL informed him that wearing the No. 15 in a regular season game would bring a heavy fine.

NFL rules will prevent the NFL Players Association reimbursing Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco for any fines he might incur if he wears Chris Henry's No. 15 on Sunday. NFLPA spokesman George Atallah had tweeted earlier Saturday his organization would cover the fine.

Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco wants to honor deceased teammate Chris Henry by wearing his jersey on Sunday. The NFL won't permit him to do so, but the NFLPA is standing by Ochocinco and says they'll pay any fine he receives for doing so. George Atallah of the NFL Players Association announced on his Twitter page that the union "will cover any fine levied on [Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco] ... and match it with a gift to our Chris Henry memorial fund."
