I’ve heard many times from Chad Ochocinco that he is “back.” Well, now I’m definitely starting to believe him after watching the last Bengals game against the Bears. Say what you want about Chad. Sure, he might have a bit of a mouth off the field, but when he’s on the field, he’s actually backing it up. Only Andre Johnson has played a better game this year. Argue if you want but Andre Johnson, Chad Ochocinco, and the Giants’ Steve Smith might not be the greatest wide receivers in many people’s opinions, but they sure are playing like it this year.
