I’m at Paul Brown Stadium for Bengals-Bears:

• Four possessions, four Cincinnati touchdowns.  Bengals drive 66 yards in 12 plays with Palmer hitting Coles on a wide receiver screen for a 6-yard touchdown and a 28-0 lead wwith 2:49 left in first half. This is a butt-kicking. Benson has 99 yards rushing on 18 carries against his old team. Palmer is 14 of 16 for 176 yards through the air.

• Three possessions, three Cincinnati touchdowns. Palmer throws for his third score, hitting J.P. Foschi for a 3-yard score and a 21-0 Cincy lead with 11:14 left in second quarter. Palmer is a sparkling 10-of-12 for 135 yards. Ochocinco has caught six passes for 77 yards. Palmer also hit Coles for a 29-yard gain on that drive.

• End of first quarter: Bengals 14, Bears 0.

• Second possession, second Cincinnati touchdown. Bengals march 80 yards for 14-0 lead. Score comes with Palmer hits Ochocinco from 8 yards out with 1:07 left in first quarter. Cedric Benson has 70 yards rushing on eight carries. Palmer is 6-of-7 for 76 yards. Ochocinco has caught four passes for 50 yards.

• On their first possession, Bears drive inside Bengals territory but stall at 45.

• Bengals drive 77 yards in eight plays on opening possession to take a quick 7-0 lead. Cedric Benson had a 23-yard run on the drive. Carson Palmer was 3-of-4 for 45 yards, including the 9-yard touchdown pass to Chris Henry with 11:00 left in first quarter.

• Cincinnati comes in at 4-2, off a 28-17 loss to Houston last week. Chicago is 3-2. The Bears lost 21-14 at Atlanta on Sunday Night Football last week.

• Cincinnati safety Roy Williams is among the inactives. Chindeum Ndukwe will start at strong safety in place of Williams.
