TDBH: Anderson follows Lapham for late TD that keeps Bengals rolling at 6-0

Related Topics: Steve Bartkowski, Al Beauchamp

ATLANTA - The best start in Bengals history is nearly derailed today by the lowly Falcons even though they knock out quarterback Steve Bartkowski on his only pass of the day that just so happens to be a touchdown and intercept the back-up quarterbacks five times. When Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson chooses to run in a bootleg from three yards out with 2:04 left in the game, they survive, 21-14, to move to 6-0. Veteran linebacker Al Beauchamp makes it all possible when he forces a fumble by Falcons running back Woody Thompson as the clock ticks under four minutes and defensive tackle Ron Carpenter falls on it at the Atlanta 21.
