Keith Rivers had his best game as a Bengal

The clock was under two minutes and the Bengals were making all the right plays.But then a hard hit bysafety Eric Weddle on Andre Caldwell knocked the ball back 20 yards and was recovered by a diving Palmer back at the 45 yard line.The Bengals were able to get back in field goal range but couldn't pick up the 36 yards needed for a first down. Shayne Graham drilled a game tying 34 yard field goal with 54 seconds left and overtime looked eminent.But the Bengals prevent D prevented that from happening.Phillip Rivers was able to get his team in field goal range with no timeouts and Nate Kaeding easily booted a 52-yarder with three seconds to go.27-24, game over.A few things must beremembered about thisdevastating loss:Carson Palmer showed the doubters that he is perfectly fine going 27 of 40 for 314, with two TD's and one INT. He lead his team by example and his teammates needed to take note.Chad's performance was typical for him (three receptions for 79 yards and a TD), but the emotions he battled through and the focus he showed must be applauded. He was wearing a heavy heart and came through with an inspired performance.

The 49-yard bomb for a TD was a thing of beauty and a refreshing sight for fans.Keith Rivers had his best game as a Bengal. He only had three tackles, but one was for a loss and he had a INT, sack, pass deflection, and a QB hit. He played well in coverage and took away the gaps in run coverage.Rey Maualuga, on the other hand, had one of his worst games. He over ran the QB and running back numerous times, he was shaky in pass coverage and missed a few tackles. Hall was beat on two long TD throws to Jackson and played too far off him in coverage.Cedric Benson didn't look very good (53 yards on 15 carries), but Larry Johnson (35 yards on four carries) looked explosive. The in-excusablesequence of threepenalties and a timeout without even snapping the ball is insane for a NFL team. Nine penaltiesfor 55 yards is not going to get it done against a team like the Chargers.

They must clean-up the false starts and delay of gamepenalties or the Bengals are going no where.Next up is a sorry Chiefs team that has nothing to play for A win and the Bengals are in the play-offs. The chance of a two seed is history but the performance on Sunday leaves hope for the rest of this season.A Bengals team that can have a key players return injury (Domato Peko, Chris Crocker, Bernard Scott) could certainly beat San Diego the second time around. This team has a lot of fight left in the tank and I think the best is yet to come.The Bengals still haven't peaked in '09, but Sunday was a step in that direction. .
