Quarterback Ken Anderson passed for two scores and the Bengals' defense forced four turnovers as Cincinnati won its second game. Jim Browner's 15-yard interception return preceded a 15-yard scoring strike from Anderson to Pete Johnson and a fumble recovery by Dick Jauron set up Archie Griffin's four-yard touchdown catch. Cincinnati's 37 points were the most by an Eagles' opponent in coach Dick Vermeil's four years at Philadelphia.
