STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES — Cincinnati has won last three games in series. ... Chiefs haven’t started 1-3 since 2012. ... Andy Reid’s only coaching tie in the NFL came at Paul Brown Stadium in 2008, when his Eagles tied Bengals 13-13. ... RB Jamaal Charles’ career-high three TDs rushing against Packers moved him into third place on Chiefs career list. ... QB Alex Smith was 20 of 30 for 201 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions, and passer rating of 85.6 in only game against Cincinnati. ... Chiefs have allowed an NFL-high 14 sacks. ... CB Sean Smith returns from three-game suspension for violating league’s substance-abuse policy. Phillip Gaines, who filled in for him, tore an ACL against Packers and is out for season. ... Win would match Bengals’ thirdbest start in club history; the 1975 and 1988 teams opened 6-0. ... QB Andy Dalton’s 121 passer rating ranks second in NFL to Aaron Rodgers (135.4). Dalton leads AFC with fourth-quarter passer rating of 147.5. ... WR A.J. Green was the AFC’s offensive player of week after catching 10 passes for careerhigh 227 yards and two TDs. ... Fantasy: Charles is facing defense that’s been exceptionally good against run so far. Baltimore managed only 36 yards rushing.
