They looked much, much better today. My only complaint was that they seemed to take the 3rd quarter off. Had they played all 4 quarters, they would have won. But maybe Palmer is getting hot at the right time.

I agree, both offensively and defensively the Bengals were flat in the 3rd quarter. Just makes you wonder what the mood was in the locker room at halftime.

It will be anohter interesting week this week as well. With the funeral tomorrow, it will be a difficult week to get the focus back in time for the Chiefs game. The game that followed the buiral of Kathy Zimmer earlier this year resulted in a loss. I can't imagine what the mindset will be this weekend.

This has been a pretty traumatic season for the Bengals having to attend two funerals as a team.
