Said Bengals K Shayne Graham of his missed field goal in overtime, “I thought I hit it good. It started out inside the upright. I guess I didn’t play the wind enough. It’s hard to explain. I just didn’t make the kick, but that’s what I am supposed to do. I feel bad for these guys because they really fought hard today and our defense did a great job.”

A roughing-the-passer call on Eagles CB Sheldon Brown put the Bengals in position for the potential game-winning kick.

Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh had 12 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Eagles S Quentin Mikell felt bad about celebrating after his big hit injured Bengals WR Antonio Chatman in the second quarter.

An injury to Bengals T Levi Jones left the Bengals scrambling to stop Eagles DE Trent Cole, who finished with 10 tackles and two sacks.

Said Cole, “I don’t believe in ties. I’m used to playing football until the end, until someone scores. That should decide the game. Taking a tie is a bad feeling. It’s a tie, but in my opinion, it’s a loss.”

Bengals WR Chad Johnson jumped into Eagles warmups and caught a pass from QB Donovan McNabb.

The Eagles passed three times on third-and-one and failed to convert each opportunity.

Bengals S Chris Crocker replaced the injured Chinedum Ndukwe and recorded a sack and interception.

A poor punting day by Eagles P Sav Rocca gave the Bengals an advantage in the battle for field position.
