Bengal kicker Shayne Graham tied the game up with a 37-yard field goal, Rudi Johnson ran 22 yards for a touchdown, and Kenny Watson ran 8 yards for another touchdown, making the score 17-3 at halftime.  After both sides failed to score in the third quarter,  which was marked by Chief quarterback Trent Green being injured and leaving the game, Graham made the score 20-3 with a 42-yard field goal.
