Key: Carson Palmer threw five touchdown passes -- four in a dominant first half -- and Cedric Benson ran for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown against the team that let him go.

Bengals said: “Everybody knew it was going to be an emotional day. Everybody knew. What a wonderful day and a wonderful thing, to go out there and strut your stuff.”-- Benson

Bears said: “It wasn’t about talent. It was us. They ran their stuff, but we still have to run our stuff. We’ve got to . . . evaluate the film and see what we did.” -- Zack Bowman, cornerback
