Teams trade turnovers

PITTSBURGH -- The Bengals had excellent field position after a 42-yard return of an interception by cornerback Deltha O'Neal.

But the Bengals, who had a first down on Pittsburgh's 29-yard line, lost a fumble on a sack by cornerback Deshea Townsend on third and three from the 23. The fumble was Palmer's third of the day and the first one lost; Clark Haggans recovered.

Palmer also has thrown two interceptions.

Through three quarters, Willie Parker has 123 rushing yards on 28 carries. He scored both of Pittsburgh's touchdowns. It is the eighth 100-yard rushing game for Parker in his career.
