Touchdown or not?

Chad Johnson's 25-yard touchdown pass, ruled a score on the field, was overturned on review.

The Bengals got the 30th field goal of the season -- a single-season franchise record -- from Shayne Graham from 38 yards.

The Bengals went 10 plays and stalled, again, at the 20-yard line. They are now 11 touchdowns on their last 34 red-zone possessions.

Once again Marvin Lewis shows his poor basic math skills by going for the 2 point conversion. With 3 possesions the Browns can tie the score with (2) 8 point TD's and a field goal.With 20 points the Browns cannot tie the score with three possesions. Stupid Stupid Stupid !!!!

uh, you do realize that three touchdowns and extra-points equals 21 points, right?

uh, anonymous 2:41, you do realize there's such a thing as a 2 point conversion, don't you ?

I generally don't like to second guess head coach moves, because they tend to know their team and the opponent's tendencies, but going for 2 points in the first half is ALWAYS a stupid thing to do. If it was late 3rd quarter with the same score, then it would have been the right move. But not at that point in the game.
