<h3>Bengals look to rebound from dismal defensive effort</h3>







Cincinnati (1-1) at Seattle (1-1) Sunday 4:05 pm EDT

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Cincinnati Bengals' defense shouldhave plenty to work on this week.


The Bengals try to rebound from one of the worst defensiveefforts in franchise history when they visit the SeattleSeahawks on Sunday.


Cincinnati suffered a 51-45 loss to the Cleveland Browns lastweek, surrendering the second-most points in the team's 37-yearhistory. The Bengals barely avoided their record high, whichcame in a 52-31 loss at Carolina in 2002.


In a game that featured 1,085 yards of total offense, theBengals allowed Derek Anderson to throw five touchdown passesand Jamal Lewis to rush for 216 yards.


The 216 rushing yards by Lewis was the second-most ever allowedby the Bengals. Priest Holmes of Kansas City holds the mark with227, achieved in 1998.


Cincinnati came up short despite a record-tying six touchdownpasses by Carson Palmer, who completed 33-of-50 passes for 401yards. Chad Johnson caught 11 passes for 209 yards and twotouchdowns to break Issac Curtis' franchise mark for careerreceiving.


Johnson leads the NFL in receiving yards with 304 yards,increasing his career mark to 7,279 yards.


The Seahawks also are coming off a tough loss as a late turnoverled to a heartbreaking 23-20 defeat at Arizona.


After a hand-off between Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck andhalfback Shaun Alexander was fumbled with just under twominutes left, the Cardinals drove 21 yards on four plays intofield goal range. That set the stage for Neil Rackers, whodrilled a 43-yarder with one second left.


Hasselbeck completed 22-of-36 passes for 281 yards whileAlexander was held to 70 yards on 18 carries after running for105 yards the week before in a 20-6 win over Tampa Bay.
