FOXBORO, Mass. -- Corey Dillon managed to diffuse the sideshow surrounding his first regular-season game against his former Cincinnati teammates today without saying a word. By not speaking with the media all week, Dillon avoided controversy, which allowed his new teammates to focus on something more important -- facing a Bengals team that has won five of its last seven games and is making a push for the playoffs.
"I'm not worried about that," Dillon said Sunday after the Cleveland game before disappearing. "It is what it is. We play them. We just have to work hard and prepare for a tough game." The Patriots can clinch a playoff berth with a win, but they're expecting quite a challenge at Gillette Stadium because the Bengals (6-6) are only a game behind Denver and Baltimore for the final wild- card spot in the AFC.See the full content of this document
