Rams score on interception return

St. Louis cornerback Fakhir Brown intercepted an errant Carson Palmer pass and returned it 36 yards for a touchdown on the second play of the second half.

Palmer threw for T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and there appeared to be a miscommunication on the route.

It was the third interception returned for a touchdown against Palmer in the past four games.

The Bengals lead 10-7 early in the third quarter.

Once again, the Bengals look lost, meek, timid, unsure of themselves, on offense. At least the defense is playing better today.

The Palmer overthrow act and his lack of creativity and his suddenly slow release are getting old fast.

It's either Palmer or the coaches but even the coaches can only do so much.

Watching this team is torture 3 out of ever 4 plays...then they look great for a play or two, and then it's right back to bad high school team-level play.

Carson Palmer is looking like the next coming of Tim Couch! I can't believe that he, the team and the fans were so arrogant to even think that he and the offense are of the same caliber as Payton Manning and the Colts. BENGALS SUCK!

The Rams DB is able to leave his man (Chad Johnson) and jump the route because not one long ball was thrown until 4th qtr. the screens and underneath passes are old and the defense is able to jump those routes. Eevn if the long ball is incomplete the DB now has to show respect for the deep route, without the threat of the deep route Carson is hung to dry.Carson has been playing lousy but the play selection is even worse. On running plays why is it always sop obvious, can't we spread the field and still run. the O-line looks much improved and the running backs are hitting it hard. If Rudy would stop turning his back on every carry he may have 30 more yards. Food for thought.
