CINCINNATI -- Cedric Benson looks motivated, and so do the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cincinnati tailback and former Chicago Bear already has 70 yards rushing on eight carries in the first quarter. The Bengals as a team are starting fast in taking a 14-0 lead.

Quarterback Carson Palmer completed six of his first seven passes and connected with receiver Chris Henry and receiver Chad Ochocinco for the game’s first two touchdowns. Chicago’s defense looks confused as Cincinnati’s play calling is staying one step ahead.

This is a big game for both teams as Chicago (3-2) and Cincinnati (4-2) both try to avoid back-to-back losses.
