Penalty cancels 45-yard punt return, no matter

MIAMI -- Antonio Chatman's 45-yard punt return was nullified on a penalty for an illegal block in the back. No player was identified.

No matter.

The Bengals defense stopped Miami's offense on two consecutive three-and-out possessions.

The Bengals drove 63 yards and scored on a 4-yard touchdown pass to Chatman, his first as a Bengal.

The drive was five plays covering 63 yards in 58 seconds.

In the first half, Carson Palmer is 12-for-17 passing for 211 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer rating is 152.2.

The Bengals are 12-2 career when Palmer has three touchdown passes in one game, including 1-1 this season.

He now has 4,026 yards, 26 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.

The Bengals are up 21-10 at halftime.

What's with all of the negative comments? It's unfortunate that
their life consists of nothing
but complaints and rants.
GET A LIFE!
