Kimi Raikkonen called his Austrian Grand Prix podium a big gift and admitted to mixed feelings after another race which saw Ferrari fail to live up to expectations.Raikkonen crossed the line third after a last-lap collision between the Mercedes drivers forced Nico Rosberg to crawl around the circuit with a damaged front wing. It had looked like Ferrari had let the race slip away from the Finn in the first round of pit stops, stopping late and losing track position to both Red Bull drivers when he had been keeping pace with race leader Lewis Hamilton.Asked if it was a frustrating race, he said: Not really. I mean yes, its better to be on the podium and its better than fourth place. That was a big gift for us but well take it with no complaints. We had pretty good speed at the beginning, I was saving tyres a bit and pushing, we were catching then losing time to Mercedes -- it went like that for a while, it was pretty close.Raikkonen refused to criticise Ferraris strategy, saying he and the team did not expect to struggle to pass Daniel Ricciardo. By the time he did dispatch the Australian he did not have enough laps to catch Max Verstappen in the other Red Bull, something he felt he could have done were it not for yellow flags in the DRS zone on the final lap.?Once we made a pit stop I found myself in fifth position. It was a bit hard after that, obviously the safety cars and stuff, but the biggest issue was probably with the first Red Bull, trying to get past him.We had good speed but it was so difficult to get close enough and when I did get closer I couldnt find the traction to challenge him. Then luckily on one lap I managed to get a jump on him, then the speed was good and I kind of ran out of the laps.Without the yellow flags we could have got Max, but thats how it goes. He got second, I got third. Disappointed but better than nothing, weve got some points back on Rosberg, so that helps.Asked whether it had always been the plan to do a one stop, he said: I think the plan this morning was one stop, the first plan, but then the plan changed because you never know how the conditions are. The conditions from yesterday or Friday have changed a lot.You have to change it, you have many different plans. It was quite easy [to make the call], my tyres were in good shape still and I was fast but we ran out of laps. The yellow flags didnt help in the end, but thats part of racing. Cheap Fake Air Max .

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Fake Shoes For Sale . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. DETROIT -- Jeremy Hill scored a touchdown on Cincinnatis first possession, but that was it for the Bengals when their top offensive players were in the game.I think we need to score more points, Hill said. We left too many on the field when we were out there. We did finish one drive, which we didnt do last week, but we need to do a better job of converting third downs.Hill ran for a 9-yard touchdown, and the Bengals went on to a 30-14 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, but this was not a great offensive show by either teams first stringers. Cincinnati benefited from a defensive touchdown and didnt really put the game away until the second half.Hill hurt his left hand in Cincinnatis preseason opener last week, but he had three carries for 16 yards against the Lions and also caught a pass.Former Cincinnati wide receiver Marvin Jones, signed by the Lions in the offseason, had four catches for 65 yards against his former team.It was neat seeing them, Jones said. Those are the guys Ive gone against every day for four years, so it was good to kind of be on the other side and go against them.Detroits Matthew Stafford was 8 of 11 for 113 yards, but the Lions went without a touchdown until the final minute of the game.Cincinnatis Derron Smith returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.Andy Dalton was 7 of 9 for 78 yards for the Bengals.LACK OF BALANCEDetroit has struggled for years to develop a running game good enough to complement Stafford and his receivers. In the first quarter Thursday when the top players were in, the Lions passed for 103 yards and rushed for 14.I think across the board, I dont think we did a lot of things well, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said. I dont think we tackled well, I dont think we ran the ball well, I dont think we stopped the run very well. So weve got work to do.ROOKIESBengals: WR Tyler Boyd continues to impress. After a 40-yard catch in last weeks game, he made a nice diving grab of Daltons pass for a 26-yard gain on Cincinnatis first possession.dddddddddddd. Boyd later caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from AJ McCarron with 12 seconds left in the first half.Thats why hes here -- hes supposed to make plays, Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said. Hes a smart kid who understands how to play this game, and hes done a good job of taking advantage of the opportunities hes getting.Lions: TE Cole Wick was beaten by a pass rusher in the first quarter on a play in which Stafford was hit and fumbled, but he also had two catches for 26 yards.INJURY UPDATEBengals: T Jake Fisher walked off slowly in the first half with a sprained right ankle. He took over at RT after Cedric Ogbuehi injured his toe last week, so now Cincinnatis depth could be tested even further.Lions: The absences of TE Eric Ebron and LB DeAndre Levy werent huge surprises, and Detroit didnt appear to have any major health issues among those who played.POSITON BATTLESBengals: Mike Nugent missed a field goal on the opening drive last week against Minnesota, and he missed an extra point and a field goal against Detroit. There was no real competition for his job, but if he falls into an extended slump, perhaps there could be. Nugent did make a 50-yard kick in the fourth quarter.Lions: Theres some uncertainty at the backup quarterback spot, with Dan Orlovsky doing little to inspire confidence when his interception was returned for a touchdown. Rookie Jake Rudock received a nice hand when he came on in the fourth quarter, but the University of Michigan product was also intercepted on just his third pass attempt.QUOTABLEIve never seen anything like this.
