The Colts have been alternating wins and losses for the past month or so, but their losses have been of the blowout variety. Offensively, they've stalled at times and the reason has been a more-than-occasional inability to keep second-year passer Andrew Luck upright.

"It's our biggest concern right now, first and foremost," Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said. "That's been since Day 1, since we drafted him No. 1, to protect 12. That's never going to change."

Pagano also realizes that seeding is important, and this game will play a major role in figuring out that seeding. "We're sitting in a good position, but nothing is sealed up," Pagano said. "We control our own destiny.

"They understand the record, they understand the division, they understand what we have to do to get into the playoffs. Certainly, we're not going to get ahead of ourselves. The worst thing we can do is get complacent."

The Bengals have leaned on their running game in 2013 to help inconsistent quarterback Andy Dalton along.  Rookie running back Giovani Bernard has exploded onto the scene this year, but BenJarvus Green-Ellis still has a role to play in the Cincy backfield.

"It lets (offensive coordinator Jay Gruden) utilize his entire playbook and not limit him at all," Bernard said. "If there's a situation where I need to go in, he'll throw me in. If there's a situation he wants Benny in, he'll throw him in. It definitely helps us and we definitely use it to our advantage."
