CINCINNATI (AP) -One day after the death of teammate Chris Henry, the Bengals tried to focus on the field as they prepared for a key game at San Diego.
Music was playing in the locker room as players packed up to leave for California. The team also held a 90-minute Friday afternoon practice.
With a win over the 10-3 Chargers, the Bengals (9-4) clinch the AFC North.
Henry died in North Carolina on Thursday, a day after following out of the back of a pickup truck during police described as a domestic dispute.
Offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth, one of the team captains, added that it was good for the team to be together at this time.
As for the game Sunday, Whitworth said the team has “handled adversity in a great way all season long and it won’t be different.”
