Palmer enters game with 9:55 to go in first quarter

Carson Palmer received an ovation when he entered the game following an interception and 29-yard return by Bengals free safety Madieu Williams. After two Rudi Johnson runs gained three yards, Palmer threw a perfect strike to third-down back Kenny Watson running across the middle, but Watson dropped the ball. The short drive ended with a 38-yard Shayne Graham field goal to give the Bengals a 10-0 lead.

Palmer appeared to move well and withstood some pressure in the pocket, stepping up to deliver the ball.
