Bengals starters finally score TD

ATLANTA -- For the first time in nine possessions with quarterback Carson Palmer and the rest of the offensive starters on the field, the Bengals scored a touchdown. Palmer threw eight yards to Chad Johnson for the score.

It capped a 17-play, 83-yard drive. It ate 9:53. The Bengals converted a fourth-and-five play from the Atlanta 35 when Palmer threw six yards to T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Kenny Watson had a 13-yard run on third and six from the 25. On third and 13 from the Bengals 38-yard line, Palmer threw 22 yards to Johnson on a crossing pattern for the first down.

The Bengals and Falcons are tied at 7 with 8:35 left in the second quarter.

In nine possessions, Palmer has led the Bengals to three field goals (two at Detroit, one at home against New Orleans) and one touchdown.
