Offense Clicks, But Defense Falters as Bengals lose to Browns

      What was supposed to be a blowout ended up being a struggle turned failure.  As Carson Palmer, Terrell Owens, and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals offense finally took flight, the defense was dominated for the majority game in Cleveland on Sunday.  The Bengals really never had control of the game versus a less talented and less experienced Browns squad.  Cleveland running back Peyton Hillis finished the game with 27 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown.  While the numbers weren't overwhelming, Hillis seemed to get the necessary yardage just when his team needed it, with little resistance from a normally exemplary Bengals rush defense.  In Bengals notes, Carson Palmer finished 25/36 for 371 yards and two touchdowns.  Terrell Owens had his best game as a Bengal, notching 10 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown.
