Bengals drive, fail on fourth down

BALTIMORE -- Receptions by Chad Johnson for 23 yards and 21 yards to Chris Henry put the Bengals in Ravens territory.

Rudi Johnson has rushed three times for negative 3 yards.

Johnson and left tackle Levi Jones have been penalized for false starts.

The Bengals are fourth-and-7 on the Baltimore 34-yard line and going for the first down. They just called timeout. There is 7:01 on the clock.

Linebacker Bart Scott and end Haloti Ngata each have hit Carson Palmer hard.

Ray Lewis sacked Palmer on fourth down and forced a fumble. Right guard Bobbie Williams caught the fumble out of the air and advanced the ball. However, by rule, it is being brought back to the point of the sack, the 41-yard line.

What a surprise. We always have great plays coming out of time outs. Freaking great.

Why was Leon Hall 10 yards off of the TIGHT END on a 4th and 1? a) If he can't cover a tight end without playing 10 yards off of him then he is worse than I thought, and b) it's 4th and 1! There's a 90% chance it's going to be a 5 yard route or less. Play to stop that, and he better be able to recover if Heap goes deep for the millions of dollars he makes.
