Chad Johnson, er Chad Ocho Cinco has me thinking. What's in a name? For some inspiration, I used anagrams hoping for clues.

Some anagrams unlock meaning from a team's character, fan base or destiny. Others make no sense, sort of like the Bengals.

Cincinnati Bengals — Enticing Cannibals; Baltimore Ravens — A tribesman lover; Pittsburgh Steelers — Tightest beer slurps; Cleveland Browns — Never bald clowns.

Miami Dolphins — Midshipman oil; New England Patriots — A talented wrong spin; Buffalo Bills — A bill of flubs; New York Jets — Wry joke nest.

Jacksonville Jaguars — Conjugal saliva jerks; Indianapolis Colts — A sadistic noon pill; Houston Texans — No stunt hoaxes; Tennessee Titans — Tense insane test.

San Diego Chargers — A ranchers doggies; Denver Broncos — Born conversed; Kansas City Chiefs — Fanatics hicks yes; Oakland Raiders — Dark idols arena.

Dallas Cowboys — Cold awol abyss; Philadelphia Eagles — A healed pillage ship; New York Giants — A new king story; Washington Redskins — A shrewd stinking son.

New Orleans Saints — Alertness as in now; Atlanta Falcons — Fatal canal snot; Tampa Bay Buccaneers — A cuter spaceman baby; Carolina Panthers — A prenatal rich son.

Seattle Seahawks — The weakest salsa; San Francisco 49ers — 49 carcass infernos; Arizona Cardinals — A casino lizard ran; St. Louis Rams — Our last miss.

Green Bay Packers — Greener paybacks; Chicago Bears — A coaches brig; Minnesota Vikings — Insane king vomits; Detroit Lions — Tiniest drool.
