Game Notes

Bengals freeze the Chargers 27-7.

With frigid conditions of minus-9 and minus-57 wind chill, Cincinnati prevails by making the least mistakes and taking advantage of San Diego miscues. The Bengals convert a fumbled kickoff into an 8-yard TD pass from Ken Anderson to M.L. Harris for a 10-0 lead.

The Chargers get on the board with a 30-yard TD pass from Dan Fouts to Kellen Winslow. However, the Bengals answer with a 1-yard TD run by Pete Johnson before halftime. San Diego turns the ball over 4 times, and is unable to mount a 2nd half rally. Anderson finishes with 161 yards and 2 TD passes.
