Cedric Benson rushed just seven times for 14 yards and a touchdown and added one reception for -2 yards against the Texans in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Benson capped off the first drive with a 1-yard plunge, but couldn't crack Houston's Bulls on Parade defense after that. With the Bengals playing catch-up, Benson hit the bench for almost the entirety of the second half while Bernard Scott and Brian Leonard handled passing-down work. Despite a third consecutive 1,000-yard season, Benson has averaged a pedestrian 3.67 YPC in 2010-2011. The impending free agent is unlikely to be back as the Bengals' feature back next season.
