Arizona Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Live Score, Video and Analysis

Simpson's touchdown flip deserves the final post in this liveblog. Here's the clip. I still can't believe that touchdown didn't count for more than six points.
He fell down? No he didn't. The Cardinals playoff hopes didn't just die because Early Doucet is clumsy, did it? Oh man. That's gotta sting.

FUMBLE: Cedric Benson donates the football to the Cardinals again. And now the Cardinals are in scoring position to tie this one up. Six of the Cardinals' seven wins have been from fourth quarter comebacks. This may be the seventh.
FIELD GOAL: Jay Feely knocks down a 29-yard field goal to pull the Cardinals within a touchdown. The way this team comes back in the fourth quarter is simply amazing. Cardinals 16, Bengals 23.
Bad timeout. The Cards are going to need that one back later in the game.
How can Larry Fitzgerald be that wide open? Does he stink or something?
TOUCHDOWN: Skelton hits tight end Jeff King for a touchdown. King made a nice catch for the score. The Cardinals failed to get the two-point conversion, so it remains a two-score game. Cardinals 13, Bengals 23.
FUMBLE: Cedric Benson puts the ball on the turf. Nice play by A.J. Jefferson. Turnovers are now becoming a factor in this one. Smells like it could be another comeback win for the Cardinals. This drive will be key.
TOUCHDOWN: Skelton tosses one about six yards and lets Larry Fitzgerald take it to the house. Lucky for Fitzgerald he was right in front of Skelton and pretty close, otherwise I'm sure it would've been too high to catch. Cardinals 7, Bengals 23.
If you're playing the Skelton Home Drinking Game (every time the announcer says one of Skelton's passes is high you drink) then it's time to take a drink. Skelton overthrew a wide open Early Doucet.
FIELD GOAL: Newton knocks down his third field goal of the game. He better ice his leg because this game is being played in the Cardinals' red zone. Cardinals 0, Bengals 23.
That roughing the passer call was horrible. C'mon, man! That was a regular tackle. Bad call.
Patrick Peterson tried his hand on offense and got nowhere on a screen pass. Maybe it would be a good idea to put him in on more than one play. I think the Bengals defense, and everyone in the stadium, knew who that one was going to.
INTERCEPTION: And yet another Skelton pass thrown WAY too high. Well, I guess it was on target if your Bengals defensive back Reggie Nelson. Skelton's name should be synonymous for "overthrown pass."
Here's the best touchdown you'll ever see.
FIELD GOAL: Steering clear of the trifecta, Nugent nails a 41-yard field goal. Cardinals 0, Bengals 20.
The Bengals look like a playoff team, the Cardinals do not. It's as simple as that.
Larry Fitzgerald wanted a pass interference call on that 3rd-and-9 attempt, but because of Skelton's high thrown the refs must have determined that it was uncatchable, like most of Skelton's throws.
TOUCHDOWN: No. He. Didn't. Jerome Simpson literally flipped over an Arizona linebacker and landed in the end zone. That has to go down for the best touchdown in the NFL. Ever. I agree with the announcers: that touchdown should count for more than just six points. Cardinals 0, Bengals 17.
There goes Dalton doing his Cam Newton impression again. Nice run.
INTERCEPTION: Someone needs to tell Skelton which color jersey's his receivers are wearing. This is getting bad.
MISSED FIELD GOAL: A second missed field goal attempt by Nugent. This time a 48-yard attempt wide-right. Cardinals 0, Bengals 10.
The Cardinals secondary just missed a great opportunity. They had three-on-one for a Dalton pass that should easily have been a pick.
Another high pass from Skelton almost gets Larry Fitzgerald hurt. This guy has to get his throws down, for the sake of his teammates.
MISSED FIELD GOAL: Mike Nugent is wide-right on his kick. The former Buckeye was a sensation in college, but has been up-and-down in his professional career. Cardinals 0, Bengals 10.
