A week after seeing a win literally slip right off of their finger tips, the Cincinnati Bengals pulled out a huge road victory, the franchise's first-ever at Lambeau Field, as they beat the Packers 31-24.
It wasn't pretty, but it was a win. Let's take a look back at some points of interest:
THE GOOD
Antwaan Odom - Coming off an injury-riddled 2008 campaign, Odom picked up a team-record five sacks on Sunday and now has seven through two weeks.
Cedric Benson - Benson looked like a workhorse yesterday, running hard and with a vengenance. He finished with 141 yards on 29 carries.
Offensive/Defensive Line - The Bengals dominated the Packers on both sides of the ball. The offensive line had a big hand in creating opportunities for the running game.
Rey Maualuga - The rookie linebacker continues to impress. He picked up his first NFL sack and forced two fumbles.
THE BAD
Carson Palmer - It wasn't all bad for Palmer, but he did get picked twice and looked flustered at times. He completed 15 of 23 passes for 185 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a score.
THE UGLY
Penalaties - The Bengals were penalized 13 times for 100 yards. If they are going to have a chance against Pittsburgh next week they will need to limit their mistakes.
