Quick Take: Bengals rally to beat Jets

Published: Oct 21, 2007 at 12:44 PM

It was over when ...
Bengals CB Johnathan Joseph intercepted Jets QB Chad Pennington with less than a minute left and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown that capped a 21-point fourth quarter and clinched a victory that halted Cincinnati's four-game losing streak.

Game balls
Cincinnati shifted its focus to the ground game, rushing 41 times and relying on backup RB Kenny Watson to carry the load. He delivered, rushing for 130 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries.

Key stat
The Jets allowed 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter while their own offense disappeared after halftime. Before Joseph's interception late in the fourth, the Jets had been penalized for 62 yards and had amassed just 63 total yards in the second half.

Noteworthy
This was the the first time in 10 years that the Bengals have hosted the Jets. ... Chad Johnson has not scored a TD since Week 2. ... T.J. Houshmandzadeh has caught a TD pass in every game this season.
