The Bengals only had the football in this game for 24:01 and it’s hard to win a game that way.  Carson Palmer was efficient last Saturday as he completed 19 of 31 passes for 251 yards with a TD pass.  Kenny Watson carried the ball 8 times for 33 yards (4.1 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 20 yards (5.0 avg).  Rudi Johnson had another off game with 7 carries for only 16 yards (2.3 ypc).  Chad Johnson (6 rec, 78 yards) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (5 rec, 62 yards) each had solid games.  Chris Henry only caught 1 pass……for a 52-yard TD.  The Bengals finished up with only 61 yards rushing on 19 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 31 passes for 251 yards.

Dexter Jackson (10 tackles, 1/2 sack) and Domata Peko (9 tackles, 1/2 sack) led the way for the Bengals on defense.  The 49ers finished up with 156 yards rushing on 37 carries (4.2 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 28 passes for 181 yards.
