Texans Over Bengals 24-21
What a game. Plenty of great plays on both sides and as expected, went right down to the wire.
Houston made it 7-3 after a kickoff return TD by Josh Cribbs. Late in the second quarter they tacked on Foster's only score of the day to go up 14-3. The Bengals drove deep into Texan territory but settled for a field goal to make it 14-6 at the half. A Dalton pass to Bernard Scott early in the third made it 14-12, and they converted to tie the game up at 14. After a Houston field goal, the Bengals answered with another touchdown of their own. Their long drive was capped by a Dalton pass to Gresham to make it 21-17.
With a little less than 3 minutes to go, Rivers drove them 80 yards, including a key 4th and 5 conversion. The drive was capped off with a slant to Andre Johnson for the go ahead score. With less than a minute and no timeouts, Dalton took over but was sacked and time expired.
