Game Notes

Bengals outlast the 49ers for a 41-38 victory moving into a 1st place tie in the AFC Central.

Rudi Johnson and Jon Kitna step up to deliver the offense to keep ahead of San Francisco's attack which gets a huge day from Jeff Garcia in the snow flurries. Garcia throws for 344 yards and 2 TDs, while running for another. However, Johnson runs for 174 yards and 2 TDs, while Kitna throws for a pair of TDs.

Cincinnati's defense also forces 3 fumbles, including one Kevin Hardy returns 10 yards for a score and 14-0 lead in the 2nd quarter. After Garcia's 41-yard TD pass to Streets ties it 14-14, Kitna hits Peter Warrick for a 31-yard TD, and Johnson's 49-yard TD run on the 1st possession of the 2nd half opens up a 28-17 lead lead before the 2 teams start trading scores.
