One very good half was enough to see the Bengals despatch the Seahawks, 21-0. All of the points were scored in the first half, with Carson Palmer connecting with his WRs for 2 TDs, and Cedric Benson running for another. After that, the Bengals offense went onto cruise control, and the defense took over.
Cincinnati had 4 sacks (including 2 by DE Robert Geathers), and SS Chris Crocker intercepted Matt Hasselbeck twice in the second half to seal the Bengals' second win of the season, leaving them atop the AFC North for the time being. Benson registered his second straight 100 yard game, although his average yards per run still leave much to be desired.
