What an incredible football game this was.  The Bengals built a 28-7 lead in the first half.  In the second half the Bengals got out-scored 42-13 to lose the football game at home!  Carson Palmer had a great game completing 31 of 42 passes for 440 yards with 3 TDs.  Rudi Johnson carried the ball 18 times for 85 yards (4.7 ypc) and a TD.  Chris Perry carried the ball 4 times for 31 yards (7.8 ypc).  Jeremi Johnson very rarely gets the ball, but he carried it 3 times for 9 yards and a TD.  Chad Johnson had the best game of his NFL career with 11 receptions for 260 yards and 2 TDs!!!!  T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught 7 passes for 88 yards.  Chris Henry caught 2 passes for 18 yards and a TD.

The defense played poorly in this football game.  The Bengals held the Chargers to 107 yards rushing on 26 carries (4.1 ypc).  The Bengals couldn’t stop the Chargers passing attack, as the Chargers completed 24 of 36 passes for 323 net yards passing.

This game really hurt the Bengals.  What a choke job!
