The starters did fine, but the Bengals were working on Carlos Rogers big time. On three consecutive plays, Carson Palmer attacked. The first completion went for a first down, the next was a sure TD that Houshmendazah (don't even ask me how to spell it) flat out dropped. On the very next play, they went at Rogers again, this time with a different receiver, #87 (whoever that is) and scored on a 45 yard TD pass.
They brutalized Rogers on three straight plays. Rogers was completely winded, and the Bengals knew it.
Might as well get those out of his system now, but yes, he needs to get into shape.
