Bengals take lead on 22-yard Rudi TD run
KANSAS CITY -- The no-huddle offense jump-started the Bengals offense, and Rudi Johnson ran 22 yards for a touchdown to give the Bengals a 10-3 lead with 5:15 remaining in the second quarter against the Chiefs.
The Bengals took over from their 12-yard line and exclusively ran the no-huddle offense, when Carson Palmer calls the play at the line of scrimmage.
The Bengals mixed the run and pass well on the drive. It's almost as though the Bengals offense decided it was time to get serious and stop messing around.
Chad Johnson had four receptions for 41 yards. Rudi Johnson ran seven times for 37 yards. Johnson has run 10 times for 47 yards.
Palmer is now 8-for-11 passing for 60 yards and a passer rating of 85.4. More important, Palmer is showing no signs of weakness in his left knee and is clearly in charge of the offense.
On the ensuing kickoff, Dante Hall had a 27-yard return and was tackled by rookie Ethan Kilmer on Kilmer's third shot at Hall on the run.
