Bengals RB Jeremy Hill lost 2 fumbles in Sunday's game against the Chargers.  He was benched after the 2nd one in the 3rd quarter.  "We can't have a back fumbling the football," HC Marvin Lewis said. "Jeremy's a talented young player and we've got to keep the football. That wasn't part of his deal last year, and we can't let it creep in."  With Hill on the sideline, RB Gio Bernard ripped off 123 yards on 20 carries.  That has this backfield looking like a pure committee heading into Week 3.
