'Madden': Pick 6 kills Bengals comeback
The primetime run is over for the digital Bengals, but things were still rough.
Every week this season we run a computer vs. computer simulation of the Bengals' upcoming game in the Playstation 4 version of Madden NFL 16, which has a pretty good track record of predicting winners, though, at 2-8, this year's simulations have a less than stellar record.
Starting at noon on Wednesdays, we livestream the games at Cincinnati.com and give a rundown on the score and stats.
Last week, the digital Bengals won a close game against the Cardinals, and we all know how that turned out. This week, the digital Bengals returned home and take on, what should've been, a weaker opponent in the St. Louis Rams.

Although there's been some question about the status of Rams quarterback Case Keenum after his head was slammed to the ground Sunday, the Rams haven't given any indication he won't start against the Bengals. Because of that, we simulated the game with Keenum starting.
Keenum ended up throwing two touchdown passes, but only put up 60 yards.
Keenum didn't often have a long field to travel because he got set up by interceptions from Andy Dalton.
Dalton's worst interception came late in the fourth quarter when the Bengals were down 14-7 and poised to tie the game. Dalton threw a pick 6 to make it a game ending 21-7.
