Liveblog: Bengals-Titans

From Paul Brown Stadium:

  • Final: Tennessee 24, Cincinnati 7.
  • Palmer throws another interception, this with 5:13 left.
  • Tennessee's Cortland Finnegan intercepts Palmer at the Titan 7-yard line with 10:17 remaining.
  • Titans now up 24-7: Keith Bulluck not only blocks Kyle Larson's punt in the end zone, he recovers the ball for a touchdown. Tennessee now up 17 with 14:05 remaining. Bengal offense going nowhere.
  • End of third quarter: Tennessee up 17-7.
  • Titans' Craig Hentrich gets off a 70-yard punt just 36 seconds before end of quarter.
  • Tennessee up 17-7: Rob Bironas does what Graham cannot. He navigates the wind for a 34-yard field goal and a 10-point Tennessee lead with 4:49 left. Kerry Collins was a perfect five-for-five on the 72-yard drive.
  • Shayne Graham's 37-yard field goal is blown no good, as it starts straight, then hits right upright and skips to the side. Still 14-7 Tennessee with 10:04 left in third.
  • Bengals' Carson Palmer limped off at halftime.
  • Halftime: Tennessee 14, Cincinnati 7.
  • Titans take 14-7 lead: Tennessee capitalizes on long Johnson run. Kerry Collins hits Justin Gage on left sideline and ex-Missouri receiver makes a nice move to get into the end zone for an 11-yard score just 38 seconds before halftime. Visitors appeared to be running out the clock before Johnson snapped off 51 yards.
  • Chris Johnson breaks a 51-yard run to give Titans ball at Cincinnati 20 with 1:02 left in half.
  • Bengals tie it 7-7: Fourth-and-one at the Tennessee 13, Bengals go for it. Chris Perry takes handoff, makes Titan miss, then skips into the end zone for the score with 3:16 left before half. Nice drive for home team. Covered 63 yards in 11 plays.
  • Tennessee takes 7-0 lead: On second-and-goal from Bengals 3-yard line, Tennessee's Kerry Collins throws an incompletion to tight end Bo Scaife. That sets up third-and-goal. But wait. Bengals penalized for 12 men on field. Next play, Lyndell White scores from a yard out, and Tennessee takes lead with 11:06 left. Crowd boos.
  • No score at end of first quarter. Wind a definite factor. Carson Palmer completed five of seven passes for just 17 yards in opening quarter. Chris Perry rushed seven times for 27 yards. But neither offense has done much overall.
  • Four punts and no score with 5:22 left in first quarter. Carson Palmer has completed three of five passes for all of 11 yards.
  • Bengals tight end Ben Utecht hurt on first play, taken off on cart.
  • At PBS for meeting between Cincinnati and Tennessee.
