New Orleans Saints 17, Cincinnati Bengals 7
The Bengals rolled up 379 yards of offense in this game but still only scored 7 points which is truly amazing. Carson Palmer was 7 of 11 passing for 133 yards but he threw a pickoff. Still it was great to see him healthy and chucking the football. J.T. O’Sullivan was really sharp when he got into the game completing 9 of 11 passes for 100 yards with a TD pass. Jordan Palmer finished up the game completing 7 of 11 passes for 59 yards with a interception. He also carried the ball 3 times for 14 yards (4.7 ypc). Bernard Scott led the Bengals in rushing in this game with 30 yards on 6 carries (5.0 ypc). Cedric Benson pitched in with 28 yards on 8 carries (3.5 ypc) in this game. WR Chris Henry was outstanding for the Bengals last Friday catching 7 passes for 100 yards (14.3 avg) with a TD. Chad Ochocinco also had a solid game with 73 yards on two receptions (36.5 avg).
The Bengals played o.k. on defense as they only allowed 2.9 yards per carry against the run and 316 total yards to the high powered Saints. Safety Marvin White (7 tackles) and LB Abdul Hodge (6 tackles) led a decent effort on defense for the Bengals.
