Bengals at CHIEFS(-2.5)

There was a lot of action in this game, which the Bengals are in the process of salting away.

One notable thing - Gaithers was pushed down into Trent Green as the starting Chief's QB was (agasin) running to gain a 1st down. Very bad helmet to ground hit resulted, U of Wash product Huard took over.

The D has looked very hawkish, and there have been multiple turnovers for the Bengals - often giving good field position.

Palmer has stood tall and found open receivers. The rush D has, for the most part done a better job than I expected against one of the NFL's leading rushers. The Chiefs have done a good job of bottling up Chad Johnson, but (like Texas keying on Ginn last night) this has opened up other opportunities for Palmer to exploit.

Agreed. The initial reaction was that Gaithers had taken him out, but the replays clearly showed that he was trying to slide to avoid hitting Green and it was not a dirty play.

Not a pretty win, but counts the same. Button-down offense most of the second half. Hmmm....sounds familiar.
