Bengals running back Cedric Benson is excited to get some retribution against his former team on Sunday. Benson claims that the Bears bad-mouthed him when he was a free agent this offseason. "I heard all the rumors that were said coming out of Chicago," Benson said Wednesday in a conference call. "Even the Bengals told me, they would call and inquire about me and get nothing but negative things -- just that I didn't work hard, that I was a prima donna, or didn't work hard on the field, or I wasn't focused. Anything negative they could say, it was said. I'm sure that contributed largely to me not getting picked up right away."
