As pointed out by ProFootballTalk.com, Bengals Safety Chinedum Ndukwe was Tweeting an hour or so after the game, and said that "We got a win....brady ate dirt...and estaban.. aka sugar..aka...sweetness...aka..ochocinco,kicked a perfect field goal, gotta love it".
Nothing like a little trash talking after a meaningless preseason game to add a little drama. Brady finished the night 4-of-8 for 58 yards, playing in just three offensive series and was hit quite a bit by the Bengals defense. We'll see if Cincinnati is around by the time the postseason comes around, as the Bengals won't face the Patriots again during the regular season.
