Cedric Benson is ready to carry the rushing load for the Bengals this fall. "No doubt, I'm ready to carry this team on my back," Benson said. "I'm due, hungry for it, miss it, and excited. It's good to be on a team that wants you. It's a great opportunity for me and I am definitely going to seize every moment. "I plan to take full advantage of those opportunities and see where it takes us. I'm about whatever it takes to get the job done. I think I am in the best situation that I can be in and it has to happen for me here." Cincinnati will host Chicago, the team that drafted and let Benson go, in Week 7 of the season.
