Colts get stuffed on fourth down; Bengals settle for 3

INDIANAPOLIS -- Justin Smith and Bryan Robinson stopped a fourth-and-one run at the Bengals 45-yard line, and the Bengals drove 43 yards in six plays but settled again for a Shayne Graham field goal from 30 yards. Chad Johnson caught a 10-yard pass, T.J. Houshmandzadeh one for 24 yards. Rudi Johnson ran nine yards to the 12, setting up a third and one. But Johnson was stopped on a run play off right tackle for no gain.

The Colts lead 17-13 with 9:08 remaining in the third quarter.

Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson is out with a right foot injury. He will not return.

The Colts had the ball for 17 minutes in the first half.

Is it just me or have the Bengals been in a "prevent" defense all night. Why is Breshnehan playing the cornerbacks so deep. There is no bump off the line - the receivers are all allowed to release freely. Where is our pass rush - I don't think Manning has been hurried all night!
