These are not the losing Bengals of the 90s anymore; they win, and they win often. But until they can prove they can do it in the postseason too, theyll likely remain in the middle of the franchise rankings.Whats goodDespite five straight playoff berths, the Bengals continue to remain one of the most affordable tickets in the league. Their average ticket price last season was around $71, cheaper than all but eight teams in the NFL. (Added bonus: A $5 beer is the cheapest in the league.) They also hold training camp at their facility, meaning fans in Cincinnati can see them for free in the summer. For a team that has consistently put together winning seasons, its one of the best value buys a fan could get.Whats badFans say the stadium -- ranked 95th in the Ultimate Standings -- has little character and feels like an ode to concrete. Although it was built in 2000, its been quickly passed up with 14 new stadiums built since then (and No. 15, the Falcons new stadium, on the way) and now feels a little dated in some ways. Theres hope for 2017, though: Last year, the Bengals put $20 million in improvements into their stadium, including new HD video screens, and this year added a field-level bar that faces the Bengals locker room.Whats newThe Bengals ownership preaches loyalty and consistency -- theyve stuck with coach Marvin Lewis for 14 seasons -- and so far that has paid off. The team rarely brings in splashy free agents, instead choosing to build through the draft, selecting future Pro Bowlers A.J. Green, Tyler Eifert, Andy Dalton, Geno Atkins, Vontaze Burfict, Carlos Dunlap and Andrew Whitworth. The Bengals havent been able to translate that to success in the postseason yet, but theyve quietly become one of the leagues most consistent and stable franchises. Fans havent missed that: They gave the Bengals owners a 38-spot bump this year.Next: Tampa Bay Buccaneers?| Full rankings Nick Markakis Braves Jersey .

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Dale Murphy Braves Jersey . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. Oregon has fired a football coach for the first time in 40 years. Perhaps more stunning: The school canned Mark Helfrich just two years after he guided the Ducks to the national championship game against Ohio State.Helfrich, who went 37-16 in four seasons, left little choice for his normally patient employer; the Ducks declined rapidly this season, especially on defense. The inability to prepare for Life After Marcus (Mariota) ultimately cost Helfrich, a sensible successor to Chip Kelly, who many expected to keep the Ducks rollling.ddddddddddddWhat does Oregon do now?
