Update: 7 p.m.

Ticket sales for Sunday’s 1 p.m. game against Tennessee at Paul Brown Stadium have reached the threshold to clear the game for live television coverage in the Bengals home market, Channel 12 in Cincinnati, Channel 7 in Dayton, Ohio, and Channel 27 in Lexington, Ky.

While the Bengals have accepted an NFL option to have blackouts lifted this season with 85 percent of non-premium tickets sold, good seats on all three levels of PBS remain. They can be purchased by calling the Bengals Ticket Hotline during business hours at 513-621-8383 or toll free at 866-621-8383. Tickets also can be purchased at any time through Bengals.com.

NO. 1: For all those in Bengaldom bitter at the national sports punditry’s lukewarm reaction to the 2-0 start, SI.com has come to the rescue and made the Bengals No. 1 in its power ranking for what the magazine says is the first time in history.

The Bengals get the next two teams in the rankings at PBS later in the season. The No. 2 Broncos are here in a Monday night game on Dec. 22 and the No. 3 Panthers are in Oct. 12. Seattle and Philadelphia round out the top five.
