Bengals win fourth straight, down Raiders
Dec 10, 2006, 21:20 GMT
Cincinnati, OH - All of Cincinnati's major players got into the act, as Rudi Johnson rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns and T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson both went over 100 yards receiving and Cincinnati kept moving toward a playoff spot with a 27-10 pounding of Oakland.
The offensive explosion marked the first time in club history that a running back ran for 100-plus yards and two receivers reached the 100-yard receiving plateau.
Carson Palmer finished 20-of-28 for 297 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions for Cincinnati (8-5), which has won four straight games. However, the road doesn't get any easier as the Bengals finish the season at Indianapolis, in Denver and against Pittsburgh.
Aaron Brooks completed 23-of-39 passes for 199 yards with a touchdown and interception for Oakland (2-11), which continued its terrible season with its sixth straight defeat.
Ronald Curry hauled in eight passes for 99 yards and a touchdown, but fellow wideout Randy Moss left the game in the second quarter and did not return. The demonstrative wide receiver did not appear to be injured when he left the field after catching two passes for 28 yards.
