COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The U.S. is back in Columbus this week, where it enjoys a distinct home-field advantage.MAPFRE Stadium, the 20,000-seat home of Major League Soccers Columbus Crew, hosts the Americans fifth straight home World Cup qualifier against Mexico.The game has become known as Dos a cero following four straight U.S. wins by 2-0 scores.Theres just history here, American defender Matt Besler said ahead of Fridays match. The fans have always been supportive of us, and I think its changing now that its not just people from this area. There are people from all over the country who are flying in to be a part of this game.The Americans are 8-0-3 at the venue, a few miles west of sprawling Ohio State and its 105,000-seat football stadium. The MLS stadiums size allows the U.S. Soccer Federation to ensure a pro-American crowd.The majority of U.S. fans fill up that stadium. Its incredible, said U.S. defender Omar Gonzalez, a Mexican-American who plays for Pachuca. You dont really get that anywhere else you go, so its definitely an advantage for us to play here in Columbus. Its not the biggest stadium, its intimate but its loud, people are close to the pitch so its going to be great.Players began arriving Monday for training. When the U.S. plays Mexico at larger venues such as the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, a large percentage of the crowd has been El Tri supporters.Here in Columbus, we know that one way or another, the majority are going to be our people, said backup goakeeper William Yarbrough, a Mexican-American who plays for Leon. We know of the great fans that Mexico has in the United States. So its also important to look for those venues where we know that the support is going to be 100 percent for us, this is one of them.The match is the opener of the 10-game final round of qualifying in the North and Central American and Caribbean region. The top three nations qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and the No. 4 team advances to a playoff against the fifth-place Asian team for another berth.Mexico has gone 12-1-2 since former Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio took over in October 2015 -- the loss was a 7-0 quarterfinal defeat to Chile in Copa America in June.We know the crowd is going to be on our side, said 20-year-old midfielder Lynden Gooch, who plays for Sunderland in the English Premier League. Theyre going to be our 12th man, as they say, and its going to be rocking. Its going to a fierce rivalry.

The defending AFC North champions are already two games behind Baltimore and one behind Pittsburgh. Their offense is out of sync and their defense has given up a lot of big plays, both running and passing.The Bengals (1-2) had their defense taken apart during a 29-17 loss to Denver on Sunday, with Trevor Siemian throwing a career-high four touchdown passes. Cincinnati hosts the Dolphins (1-2) on Thursday night.The defense is expecting Burficts return to fix a lot of the problems immediately.Youre going to see a big difference, defensive tackle Domata Peko said on Monday. We got better today with him back.Im super stoked about having No. 55 back. He brings a lot of energy to our guys. Hes got a mean streak to him.That mean streak has repeatedly gotten him in trouble in college and the NFL. The Bengals have tried to get him to keep his high-energy style of play while respecting the rules. So far, it hasnt worked.Asked on Monday if he will change his style in light of his three-game suspension, Burfict said, Why would I change anything?Its not all the defense, which ranks 15th this week. The offense has taken several big steps back from last season and hhasnt gotten into a flow under first-year coordinator Ken Zampese.ddddddddddddThe Bengals had one of the worst running games in the league and came out against the Broncos determined to fix it.Jeremy Hills 50-yard run on Cincinnatis opening series marked a huge breakthrough, and the Bengals piled up 75 yards rushing in the first quarter. The Broncos adjusted, and Cincinnati managed only 68 yards rushing in the last three quarters.Andy Dalton was 21 of 31 for 206 yards, but much of that came in the fourth quarter when the Broncos got up by two touchdowns and allowed short completions to drain the clock.We have a ways to go, and its now gut-check week, Hill said.The Bengals are 1-2 for the first time since 2011, which also is the previous time they lost a home game in September. That season marked the start of their five-year run of playoff appearances and first-round losses.Cincinnati hasnt opened a season 1/3 since 2008, when it finished 4-11-1.Game notesTE Tyler Eifert could return on Thursday night as well. He had offseason surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left ankle and missed all of training camp, the preseason and the first three games. Eifert returned to practice on a limited basis last week. Coach Marvin Lewis indicated there was a chance he could play against the Dolphins. ... Burfict has a roster exemption for practice this week, but could be added to the active roster before the game on Thursday.---Online: AP NFL website www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
