The Cincinnati Bengals didn't let this one slip away.

The Bengals nearly blew a 10-point in the final minute as the Packers ran out of time at the 10-yard line and Cincinnati held on for a 31-24 victory Sunday.

Trailing by 10, the Packers (1-1) kicked a late field goal and recovered an onside kick. Aaron Rodgers marched them to the Cincinnati 10-yard line, but Green Bay was called for a false start to end the game.

Chad Ochocinco delivered on his promise to perform a "Lambeau leap" when caught a 13-yard TD pass from Carson Palmer in the third quarter.

Defensive end Antwan Odom tied a team high with five sacks and Cedric Benson rushed for 141 yards for the Bengals (1-1), who consistently poked holes in the Green Bay Packers' new 3-4 defense as they rebounded from a last-minute loss to Denver in Week 1.

Three of Odom's five sacks came after Packers left tackle Chad Clifton injured his ankle and was carted off early in the third quarter.
