Bengals get break on review

Keenan McCardell's 39-yard reception, on which he burned cornerback Tory James, was overturned because McCardell didn't have control all the way to the ground.

On the first play from scrimmage, Carson Palmer threw 51 yards to Chad Johnson for a touchdown. Johnson, unbelievably, was left alone on a deep pass to the right side of the offense. Safety Terrence Kiel was the closest defender to Johnson.

Palmer is now 8-for-8 passing for 163 yards and a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

The Bengals touchdowns have been scored on running plays by Jeremi Johnson and Rudi Johnson and the pass to Chad Johnson.

The 21 points in the first quarter are the most in a single quarter for the Bengals since they scored 24 in the fourth quarter of the game Dec. 5, 2004 at Baltimore.

I know you can't sit on a lead, especially with the LT and the chargers, but this is the kind of situation where we need to be more like NE and PITT and grind it out with rudi and kill the clock. what do you think?

'on which he burned cornerback Tory James'
How many times have we seen this? When does his contract expire? I know he was in the pro-bowl, but apart from getting a few picks a year, he spends way too much time chasing the people he's supposed to cover. Looking forward to Joseph taking his place
