Palmer throws 7 yards to Henry for TD; Bengals up 28-7 at half

The Bengals' offense is in high gear, as if to exorcise the frustration of the first eight games. Carson Palmer threw 7 yards to Chris Henry to cap a 14-play, 74-yard drive with 16 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The 28 points are the most allowed in a game by the Chargers this season. They came in sixth in scoring defense at 16.8 points a game.

The Bengals lead 28-7 at halftime.

Palmer is 20-for-23 passing for 282 yards and two touchdowns. His passer rating is 146.7. Chad Johnson has seven receptions for 117 (his first 100-yard game of the season. T.J. Houshmandzadeh has six catches for 83 yards.

The defense is doing a solid job. Tailback LaDainian Tomlinson has rushed eight times for 26 yards in the first half.

The Bengals, reversing a trend of the past few games, has had 18:03 in possession time in the first 30 minutes.
