Streaks
The Bengals have won three of the last five to take a 5-3 lead in the all-time series.

Last week
The Cardinals beat the Lions at home 31-21, holding the Lions to minus-18 yards rushing. QB Kurt Warner completed 26 of 36 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns. Bengals kicker Shayne Graham hit a franchise-record seven field goals as Cincinnati downed the Ravens 21-7.

At stake
The Cardinals are trying to keep pace with Seattle in the NFC West while the banged-up Bengals sit at the bottom of the AFC North.

Key matchup
Bengals WR Carson palmer vs. Cardinals secondary. The Cardinalss held an NFC pass-happy offense in check last week and will face a similar gun-slinging AFC foe in Week 11. Carson Palmer and WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh didn't hook up for a TD last week (in fact the Bengals didn't score any TDs at all) for the first time this season. With Chris Henry back from suspension, Palmer now has three legitimate receiving threats in Houshmanzadeh, Henry and Chad Johnson, who hasn't caught a TD in seven games. Arizona has done a decent job against the pass this season, allowing just over 200 yards per game.

Did you know?
In his only start vs. Cincinnati (Oct. 3, 1999), Warner posted a perfect 158.3 passer rating, completing 17 of 21 passes for 310 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. ... Since 2003, the Bengals are 21-4 when their defense has two or more interceptions.
