The Bengals were coming off their bye week in 2005. They were playing host to Peyton Manning and the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. It was also the first game in Paul Brown Stadium History that CBS lead team of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms called.
The Bengals did not disappoint. The Colts outlasted the Bengals 45-37. Chad Johnson backed up his guarantee by having a fine performance that included a 65 yard Touchdown from Carson Palmer.
Being a die-hard Bengals fan for my entire life, I have never seen the Bengals play so well in a game they lost. Having it be against someone else, they probably would have won.
The Bengals ended the season winning the AFC North and the Colts ended up with the #1 Seed in the AFC and winning the AFC South. Both teams were bounced in the Playoffs by the Pittsburgh Steelers
