2005 BENGALS GAME SUMMARIES
The Bengals won a season opener on the road for the first time
since 1995, churning out their most net yards (420) in any season
opener since 1984. Cincinnati overcame an early 3-0 deficit and rolled
to a 27-10 lead after three quarters. Cincinnati’s marquee offensive stars
each had outstanding games. QB Carson Palmer posted a 107.5 passer
rating, tops in the AFC for the opening weekend. HB Rudi Johnson
rushed for 126 yards, second-most in team history for a season opener.
And WR Chad Johnson caught 9 passes for 91 yards, tying for the AFC
opening-weekend lead in receptions. Second-year CB Keiwan Ratliff and
rookie MLB Odell Thurman had interceptions for Cincinnati, and Ratliff
recovered a Browns fumble forced by DT John Thornton. The Bengals
were plus-1 in turnover differential, moving to 10-1 under head coach
Marvin Lewis in games with a positive differential.
The Bengals tied the team record with a plus-6 turnover differential (7
takeaways, 1 giveaway) and rolled to a 27-0 halftime lead in dismantling
the Vikings. The Bengals intercepted 5 Daunte Culpepper passes, their
most INTs in a game since 1976, and CB Deltha O’Neal had 3 of those,
tying the team record. Carson Palmer passed for 266 yards in the first
half alone for Cincinnati, and he finished with 337 yards, his secondhighest career total. Palmer threw a 70-yard TD pass to Chad Johnson
on the second scrimmage play of the game, and his 12-yard TD pass to
T.J. Houshmandzadeh gave the Bengals a 14-0 lead with 7:19 still left in
the first quarter. The Vikings fell behind 37-0 before averting a shutout
with 3:17 to play on a Culpepper TD run and a two-point conversion.
The Bengals improved to 2-0 and the Vikings fell to 0-2.

Game 3
Bengals 24, Bears 7
Sunday, Oct. 2, at Paul Brown Stadium
The Bengals drowned an opponent with a takeaway storm for the
second straight week. They had 5 interceptions for the second straight
game in their victory over the Bears, and they had 6 total takeaways after
getting 7 the previous week. The Bengals went three-and-out on their first
possession against a tough Chicago defense, but LB Brian Simmons’
interception on Chicago’s first scrimmage play put Cincinnati on a roll.
The Bengals punctured a generally tough Chicago defense for 3 Carson
Palmer TD passes, 2 to Chad Johnson. The Bears offense, meanwhile,
penetrated the Cincinnati red zone only once on the day and had a long
scrimmage gain of 23 yards. Palmer posted a 130.3 passer rating, hitting
triple figures for the his sixth straight start, dating back to the 2004
season. The Bengals logged their first 3-0 start since their AFC Central
Division title season of 1990, and the Bears fell to 1-2.
After winning each of their first three games by 14 or more points,
the Bengals came up against a stubborn foe in winless Houston and
managed to get the job done in the clutch. The Texans had a first down
at the Cincinnati 44 early in the fourth quarter, with the scored tied
10-10, but sacks by rookie LBs Odell Thurman and David Pollack forced
Houston to punt from its own 25. The Cincinnati offense responded with
a 13-play drive that resulted in a 27-yard Shayne Graham field goal, and
on the next Texans possession, Bengals DE Justin Smith executed a
sack-and-strip on QB David Carr, with DT John Thornton recovering the
fumble at the Houston 35. When Graham kicked a 46-yard field goal for
a 16-10 Bengals lead, only 1:10 remained to play and Houston was out
of timeouts. The Texans advanced only as far as their own 40-yard line
on their final possession before Carr was sacked again on a fourth-down
play as time ran out — Cincinnati’s seventh sack of the game. The Bengals
improved to 4-0 for the first time since their Super Bowl season of 1988,
and the Texans fell to 0-3.

Game 5 Jaguars 23, Bengals 20
Game 6 Bengals 31, Titans 23
The Bengals trailed Tennessee 17-10 and were playing defense late
in the third quarter, but the momentum turned with LB Odell Thurman’s
30-yard TD return of an interception forced by CB Tory James. The score
tied the game at 17-17, and the Bengals scored 2 fourth-quarter TDs
while limiting the Titans to 2 field goals. Bengals QB Carson Palmer
tied an NFL record by posting his ninth straight game with a 100-plus
passer rating, and Palmer’s 15-yard TD pass to WR Chad Johnson put
Cincinnati ahead to stay at 24-20 with 4:19 remaining. James forced
a Chris Brown fumble later in the final period, and his 26-yard return
to the Titans’ 1 set up a TD by HB Rudi Johnson. The Bengals had a
plus-3 advantage in turnover differential and improved their NFL-leading
differential to plus-16. Cincinnati went to 5-1 on the season, winning
for only the second time in seven trips to Tennessee. The Titans fell to
2-4 on the season.

Sunday, Oct. 16, at The Coliseum
Plagued by penalties (12 for 94 yards) and a blocked punt, the Bengals
lost the field position battle early at Jacksonville, and fell behind by 10-0
and later by 20-10 before mounting a rally that fell short. Cincinnati pulled
within 23-20 with 5:16 to play on a 25-yard TD pass from QB Carson
Palmer to WR Chris Henry, and later the Bengals had a chance to drive
for a go-ahead TD or tying field goal. But with just over a minute to play,
Palmer lost a fumble to a blind-side Jaguars pass rush at the Jacksonville
45. The Jaguars beat the Bengals at Jacksonville for a seventh straight
time, led by RB Fred Taylor’s 132 rushing yards. The Bengals fell to 4-1
on the season, while the Jaguars improved to 3-2.

Game 7 Steelers 27, Bengals 13
Sunday, Oct. 30, at Paul Brown Stadium
Before a franchise-record home crowd of 66,104, the Bengals
misfired on a chance to take a 2½-game lead in the AFC North Division,
and also to match their best seven-game start in team history. They
fell 27-13 to the visiting Steelers, falling to 5-2 on the year while
Pittsburgh climbed to within a half-game at 4-2. The Bengals drove
to the Pittsburgh 12 on their first possession, but came away without
points, and they netted only a field goal after driving to the Steelers’ 8
on their second possession. Pittsburgh made Cincinnati pay for the
missed opportunities, moving to leads of 7-6 at halftime and 24-6 after
three quarters. The Steelers rumbled for 221 rushing yards, 131 by Willie
Parker, and QB Ben Roethlisberger threw a pair of TD passes. Bengals
QB Carson Palmer scored the lone Cincinnati TD on a 4-yard run in the
fourth quarter. Palmer entered the game with an NFL-record-tying streak
of nine straight games with a passer rating of 100 or more, but he was
held to a 53.8 rating in the loss.
The Bengals picked off 5 Brett Favre passes, the most ever suffered
by the Packers QB legend in a regular-season game, and Cincinnati ran
its record to 6-2, the best at the halfway point of a season since a 7-1
mark in the Super Bowl season of 1988. The Bengals also became the
first NFL team since 1970 to get 5 INTs in three different games in a
season. Despite a plus-4 turnover differential, the Bengals didn’t have
an easy road to victory. Though they went up 21-7 on Carson Palmer’s
third TD pass of the day, a 27-yarder to FB Jeremi Johnson with 13:17
to play, Favre drove the Packers 88 yards for a TD that narrowed the gap
to 21-14 with 3:11 remaining. Following a Bengals punt, Favre led Green
Bay to a first down at the Bengals’ 28 with 23 seconds remaining, but the
Bengals rose up on the final two snaps to end the threat as time ran out.
The Packers fell to 1-6 on the year as the Bengals posted the franchise’s
first win in four games against Favre.

Sunday, Nov. 20, at Paul Brown Stadium
Red-zone play was a key as the Bengals won in Baltimore for the
second straight year and matched their best nine-game record (7-2) since
their Super Bowl season of 1988. Cincinnati scored TDs on each of its
three penetrations of the Baltimore 20-yard line, and on four Baltimore
trips inside the Cincinnati 20, the Bengals defense gave up only three
FGs and no TDs. The Ravens pulled within five points at 14-9 early in
the fourth quarter, but the Cincinnati offense responded with a 12-play,
91-yard TD drive to put the game away. The drive finished with a 3-yard
TD pass from Carson Palmer to rookie WR Chris Henry. Palmer posted
a 128.4 passer rating, topping the 100 mark for the 11th time in his
last 12 games. Bengals HB Rudi Johnson rushed for 97 yards and
scored the first Cincinnati TD on a 1-yard run in the second quarter.
The Cincinnati defense yielded only 240 net yards as the Ravens fell
to 2-6 on the year.
Cincinnati rallied from a 35-17 deficit to close within 35-34 early in
the third quarter. In the end, however, the Bengals were not quite a match
for the NFL’s only unbeaten team. The Colts led 42-34 with 4:29 left in the
third. And when the Bengals countered with a drive to the Colts’ 27, Indy’s
defense got off the field by stuffing a fourth-and-one sweep by Cincinnati
HB Chris Perry. The game featured standout performances by QBs Carson
Palmer and Peyton Manning, and the day ended with Palmer and Manning
ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the NFL in season passer rating. Bengals WR Chad
Johnson had a career-high 189 receiving yards. The Colts led 35-27 at
halftime, and the 62 total points were tied for second-most ever in an NFL
first half, as well as the most first-half points ever in a Bengals game. The

Game 11 Bengals 42, Ravens 29
Game 12 Bengals 38, Steelers 31
Sunday, Nov. 27, at Paul Brown Stadium
Sunday, Dec. 4, at Heinz Field
The Bengals allowed some mildly anxious moments to surface in a
game that initially looked like a rout, but they recovered to shut down
Baltimore. Cincinnati posted a three-game winning streak against the
Ravens for the first time in series history. After rolling to a 34-0 lead
with 6:18 left in the third quarter, the Bengals saw Baltimore strike for
three TDs in quick succession. Jamal Lewis’ 5-yard scoring run left the
Bengals leading by just 13 (34-21) with 11:58 still left in the fourth
quarter. But the Cincinnati offense killed half of that remaining time with
a 61-yard TD drive, as Rudi Johnson’s second TD run of the day gave
the Bengals a comfortable 42-21 edge with 6:03 remaining. For the first
time since Dec. 5, 1999, the Bengals finished a game with a 300-yard
passer (Carson Palmer, 302), a 100-yard rusher (Rudi Johnson, 114) and
a 100-yard receiver (T.J. Houshmandzadeh, 147). The Bengals improved
to 8-3, while Baltimore fell to 3-8.
The Bengals outgunned the Steelers to claim their most significant
victory since their last playoff appearance in 1990. The victory over the
defending AFC North champions gave Cincinnati a two-game division
lead with four games to play, plus a tiebreaker edge based on division
record. The Bengals withstood a 474-yard Steelers offensive output,
countering with 4 takeaways and a giveaway-free 324 yards of their own.
The 324-yard total did not include a 94-yard kickoff return by Cincinnati’s
Tab Perry, which set up the first of Rudi Johnson’s 2 rushing TDs for a
31-24 Bengals lead in the third quarter. The Bengals moved to a 38-24
lead in the fourth quarter when Johnson scored to climax a 49-yard
drive set up by an Odell Thurman INT. The Steelers closed to 38-31 and
gained possession at their own 24-yard line with 2:26 to play, but the
Bengals defense stopped Pittsburgh without a first down, getting sacks
by David Pollack and Justin Smith. The Bengals improved to 9-3 on the
season as the Steelers fell to 7-5.

Game 13 Bengals 23, Browns 20
Game 14 Bengals 41, Lions 17
Needing a victory to clinch their first division championship and
playoff berth since 1990, the Bengals rolled over Detroit, posting their
second-most points and second-largest victory margin of the season.
Special teams standout Tab Perry set up a Bengals field goal by forcing
and recovering an R.W. McQuarters fumble on the game’s opening kickoff,
and Cincinnati went on to lead 17-0 after the first quarter. Carson Palmer
threw 3 TD passes for Cincinnati, setting a team record with 30 for the
year, and Chad Johnson caught a career-high 11 passes. Rudi Johnson
rushed for a pair of Cincinnati TDs, and CB Deltha O’Neal got his 10th
interception, setting a new club season record. The Bengals improved to
11-3, clinching the AFC North title, and Detroit fell to 4-10.

Sunday, Dec. 18, at Ford Field
The Bengals trailed for most of the game against a 4-8 Browns club,
but battled back to win on Shayne Graham’s 37-yard field goal as time
expired. Cincinnati took its first lead at 20-17 with two seconds remaining
in the third quarter, on a 4-yard TD pass from Carson Palmer to WR T.J.
Houshmandzadeh. The TD play converted a third-and-goal situation. The
Browns tied the score at 20-20 on Phil Dawson’s 29-yard field goal with
4:19 to play, but the Bengals consumed the final 4:19 of the game on
a 12-play drive that ended with Graham’s game-winning kick. Graham
was 3-for-3 in field goals for the game. Cincinnati’s defense yielded a
season-low 208 net yards, and HB Rudi Johnson accounted for most of
Cincinnati’s 278-yard total with a season-high 169 rushing yards and 11
more on 3 receptions. Johnson scored his team-leading 10th TD of the
year on an 8-yard run in the first quarter. The Bengals improved to 10-3
on the season, tying the best 13-game record in club history.

HISTORY
Game 15 Bills 37, Bengals 27
Sunday, Jan. 1, at Arrowhead Stadium
Needing a win to stay in contention for the No. 2 seed in the AFC
playoffs, the Bengals absorbed what head coach Marvin Lewis called
a “thoroughly disappointing” loss, falling to a 4-10 Bills team that had
lost five straight. It was Cincinnati’s eighth straight loss against the
Bills. Buffalo’s highly-regarded special teams contributed a 99-yard
kickoff return for a TD by Terrence McGee, an onside kick recovery, and
a 19.0-yard average on two punt returns. McGee also had a 46-yard
INT return for a score, becoming the first player in NFL history to score
on a KOR and an INT in the same game. The Bengals tied the score at
27-27 on Shayne Graham’s 27-yard field goal with 7:27 to play, but the
Bills drove to a go-ahead FG with 0:58 left, and McGee made his INT
for a TD as the Bengals tried to mount a comeback in the final minute.
Attendance at Paul Brown Stadium was 65,485, and the Bengals set a
new regular season attendance mark of 526,469. The Bengals fell to
11-4; the Bills improved to 5-10.
The Bengals entered the regular-season finale with only their playoff
seeding at stake and, despite the loss to the Chiefs, Cincinnati still
came away as the No. 3 seed in the AFC. Injured starters Levi Jones
and Deltha O’Neal were inactive for the game and many other Bengals
starters, including QB Carson Palmer, saw only limited playing time. The
Bengals’ only score came on a 49-yard field goal by Shayne Graham
late in the first quarter — his 14th consecutive FG, a new team record.
HB Rudi Johnson managed only 18 rushing yards, but that was enough
to give him 1458 for the season and break the team record he set in
2004 (1454). The Bengals had just 161 yards of total offense, while
Kansas City racked up 537 yards, the most yards allowed by Cincinnati
all season. RB Larry Johnson rushed for 201 yards and 3 TDs for the
Chiefs, who were playing their last game under head coach Dick Vermeil.
The Bengals ended the regular season with an 11-5 record, while Kansas
City finished 10-6.

The atmosphere was super-charged at Paul Brown Stadium as the
AFC North Champion Bengals made their first postseason appearance
in 15 years. But Cincinnati was dealt a devastating blow on its second
offensive play, as QB Carson Palmer was lost to a serious knee injury
while completing his first NFL postseason pass — a club postseasonrecord 66 yarder to WR Chris Henry. Backup QB Jon Kitna took over
for Palmer and helped Cincinnati fashion a 17-14 halftime lead, but
Pittsburgh owned the second half. The Bengals’ offense, deflated without
Palmer, had just 6 first downs and 105 net yards in the final two periods
and failed to score another point. The Steelers used a botched snap on a
Bengals FG attempt and two INTs by Kitna to control the second half and
claim the first-ever postseason meeting between the longtime divisional
rivals. Pittsburgh, which had finished second to the Bengals in the AFC
North and entered the playoffs as the No. 6-seeded Wild Card team, went
on to win Super Bowl XL.

THIRD YEAR A CHARM
HISTORY
RECORDS
STADIUM , NFL & MEDIA
The Bengals secured a playoff berth in Marvin Lewis’ third year as head coach, and entering the 2005
season, history instructed that Lewis might find it to be a good year.
The three previous coaches who have taken the Bengals to the playoffs all either went to the postseason or
won 10 games during their third years at the helm:
• Paul Brown’s third Bengals season was 1970, the team’s first in the NFL after the NFL-AFL merger. The
team captured the initial AFC Central Division title with an 8-6 record. The Bengals won their last seven games
after a 1-6 start and became at the time the youngest expansion franchise ever to reach the playoffs.
• Forrest Gregg’s third season was 1982. His Bengals finished 7-2 in a strike-shortened season, tying
for the second-best record in the AFC. Divisional standings were not used in ’82, and the team entered the
playoffs as the AFC’s third seed among eight qualifiers.
• Sam Wyche’s third season was 1986, and though the team did not make the playoffs, it finished 10-6,
a record that in most years is good enough to punch a playoff ticket. Wyche’s club finished two games behind
12-4 Cleveland in the AFC Central. Four non-division winners finished with 10-6 records, and tiebreakers sent
the N.Y. Jets and Kansas City to the playoffs while the Bengals and Seattle missed out. Wyche later took the
Bengals to the playoffs twice, in 1988 and ’90.
