The San Diego Chargers kicker Nate Kaeding kicked a 52-yard field goal when it was only three seconds before game ended, and the playoff-bound Chargers pulled out a tight 27-24 win over the grieving Cincinnati Bengals, who entered Sunday’s game three days after losing wide receiver Chris Henry.
The winning kick came after Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers moved the Chargers 46 yards in 51 seconds with no timeouts and backup center Dennis Norman snapping after Scott Mruckzkowski was injured. A few minutes after the final gun, the Chargers clinched their fourth straight AFC West title when Denver lost 20-19 to Oakland.
Thus the Chargers won their ninth straight game and clinched a playoff spot before halftime because of other results. The Bolts improved to 17-0 in December dating to 2006.
Wide receiver Chad Ochocinco caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer to give the Bengals a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter, then the receiver wearing his No.85 Bengals jersey got down on both knees and touched his heart with his right hand. However, the Bengals finally only tied the game at 24 on Shayne Graham’s 34-yard field goal with 54 seconds left.

Bengals Palmer and Ochocinco will make a big year in Cincinnati
Bengals QB Carson Palmer recently told reporters that he is happy with Bengals current situation, especially with the coming back to camp of WR Chad Ochocinco.
“The mindset of the team, the amount of distractions is down and the focus is where it needs to be,” Palmer said. “As far as talent wise, this is probably the best talent we’ve had but the most maturity we’ve had by far. We’re where we need to be, we’re headed in the right direction.”
Palmer is ranked No. 11 in Michael Fabiano’s fantasy rankings now. I believe he will rank higher with help of Ochocinco. Although Ochocinco was engaged in many negative news, but he is still the one you should mention when you try to figure out the best receiver in the league. The two together will be a wonderful unit and make great year for the Bengals.
