Chad Johnson and Rudi Johnson both scored long touchdowns as the Cincinnati Bengals stunned the Denver Broncos 23-10 in the National Football League on Monday.
The Bengals never trailed while snapping a three-game losing streak and ending the heavily-favored Broncos' four-game winning streak in Cincinnati's first appearance on Monday Night Football since 1992.
Chad Johnson made seven catches for 149 yards to lead the Bengals offense, while Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer was 12-for-21 for 198 yards.
Rudi Johnson had 24 carries for 119 yards, including a 36-yard TD run, on the ground for the Bengals.
Reuben Droughns rushed for 110 yards on 24 carries for the Broncos, but Denver QB Jake Plummer struggled at times, going 23-for-40 for 221 yards and two interceptions.
Chad Johnson opened the scoring for the Bengals (2-4), taking a 50-yard pass from Palmer midway through the first quarter, giving his team a lead they never relinquished.
Shayne Graham made it 10-0 late in the second quarter on a 53-yard field goal, before the Broncos (5-2) got on the scoreboard less than four minutes later on a three-yard touchdown pass from Plummer to Rod Smith.
Japan’s Shohei Ohtani is the record-breaking baseball “superhuman” following in the footsteps of the legendary Babe Ruth who has also earned comparisons to US sporting greats Michael Jordan and Tom Brady. Not since Ruth a century ago has there been a baseball player capable of both pitching and hitting at the top level.

Zhang Shuai yesterday said that she nearly quit after losing 24 matches in a row — now the world No. 595 is into the quarter-finals of her home China Open. The 35-year-old is to face Spain’s Paula Badosa as the lowest-ranked player to reach this stage in the history of the tournament after Badosa reeled off 11 of the last 12 games in a 6-4, 6-0 victory over US Open finalist Jessica Pegula. Zhang went into Beijing on a barren run lasting more than 600 days and her string of singles defeats was the second-longest on the WTA Tour Open era, which
More than 180 years of horse racing came to an end in Singapore on Saturday, as the Singapore Turf Club hosted its final race day before its track is handed back to the Singaporean government to provide land for new homes. Under an overcast sky, the air-conditioned VIP boxes were full of enthusiasts, socialites and expats, while the grounds and betting halls below hosted mostly older-generation punters. The sun broke through for the last race, the last-ever Grand Singapore Gold Cup. The winner, South African jockey Muzi Yeni, echoed a feeling of loss shared by many on the day. “I’d
Francesco Bagnaia yesterday profited from a mistake by rookie Pedro Acosta to win the Japan MotoGP sprint and close the gap on overall championship leader, Jorge Martin. Spaniard Acosta crashed with four laps to go while leading the field at Motegi, allowing defending world champion Bagnaia to take first ahead of Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez. Spain’s Martin finished fourth and saw his overall lead over Italian Bagnaia in the championship standings cut to 15 points. “I am very happy because with these conditions, it’s not very easy to win and gain points,” Bagnaia said after a sprint race that took place under
