Bengals tied at 3 on 37-yard Graham FG

KANSAS CITY -- The Bengals tied the game at 3 on a 37-yard field goal with 14:53 remaining in the second quarter.

The Bengals drove minus-5 yards on four plays after linebacker Landon Johnson recovered a fumbled punt by Dante Hall.

Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson appear to be having communication problems. Besides an obvious disagreement on the previous drive -- when Johnson turned out and not up on a blitz -- Palmer threw to the goal line for Johnson on a third-and-15 play, but the ball hit Johnson in the foot. He was open but not looking for the ball.

Graham's squib kick eluded Hall and rolled into the end zone for a touchback, setting up the Chiefs at the 20-yard line.

The Bengals, who led the NFL with 44 takeaways and 153 points off turnovers in 2005, now have one takeaway and three points off turnovers this season.
