Bengals PR staff wins NFL writers award

The Cincinnati Bengals public relations staff on Friday was named as the NFL’s best for 2005 in voting by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA). The Bengals will receive a trophy from the PFWA to mark their winning of the Rozelle Award, given annually to the league’s PR staff that excels in its dealing with the media. Jack Brennan, former Enquirer Bengals beat writer, is public relations director. P.J. Combs is assistant director, and Inky Moore is the PR assistant. The PFWA also announced four other awards: Titans general manager Floyd Reese, the Horrigan Award for media cooperation (non-player); Giants tailback Tiki Barber, the good guy award for media cooperation by a player; Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain, McCann Award, for distinguished service as a football writer; and Colts coach Tony Dungy, Halas Award, for overcoming great obstacle and personal tragedy to continue in his work.
