Slaton bounces on the brick wall for 2.

Short pass to AJ good for 3. 3rd and 5.

3rd down pass almost INT'ed... Texans to punt.

Penalty on Texans forces a re-punt so Turk to punt again.

End of 3rd quarter.

[Arky]

Benson for 1. Ball at the Bengals 20.

Benson for 5.

Reeves breaks up the 3rd down pass so Bengals to punt.

[Arky]

Tough running by JJ on the return brings the ball back to the Texan 34.

Alright!!!!

The defense has given us another chance. The offense needs to use the short passing game and the occasional run to eat the clock and score a TD preferably or at least a FG.

[Arky]

1st down pass - Schaub hits AJ for about 14. Ball nearing midfield.

Slaton for no gain.

Slaton for about 6. 3rd and 5.

Ball is snagged by AJ for 13 and the 1st down.

Dump to OD goes for 14. Ball at the Bengals 22.

[Arky]

Slaton with big gain but flag on the play. Leach with block in the back.

1st and 12 at the 24.

C Brown for 5. 2nd and 8.

C Brown for about 7. 3rd and 1.

More dump offs and screens to Slaton outside the tackles.

[Roy P]

Chris Brown up the middle trying to eat clock. Now Shotgun on 2nd and 4 for a draw play up the middle.

[WMH]

Hey, looky there. We converted a 3rd and 1!!!!!!

[Arky]

C Brown lunges for the 1st down. Keep it up, fellas!

TE screen to OD goes for about 3.

Timeout Texans.

[Roy P]

Okay, 8 minutes left to play, I'm starting to get a feeling like we might just win this thing.

I'm starting to not like the Out route. Schaub gave a little pump fake giving Joseph time to get over and jump it. That needs some work.

Nike Punt by Turk on that snap.

Have we done a good job today stopping Cedric Benson? I think we have squared that away a bit. Haven't looked at the stats, but it seems like we are at least making tackles.

By looking at my fantasy tracker...

He's got 42 yards and a TD, and one reception for -5 yards. Dunno how many rushes though.

We had Cushing covering OchoCinco on that slant, and Palmer missed it. WHEW!!!
