CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Tom Brady couldnt get into the end zone against a defence thats developing a reputation for taking down the leagues top quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers found out. And so did Brady, running on empty all game long. The Bengals ended Bradys streak of 52 consecutive games with a touchdown pass on Sunday, sacking him on his first pass attempt and keeping the pressure going. The defence even helped BenJarvus Green-Ellis get into the end zone for the games only touchdown in a 13-6 victory over the previously undefeated Patriots. It was so impressive that defensive co-ordinator Mike Zimmer was handed a rain-drenched game ball in the locker room. "Thats a great accomplishment," coach Marvin Lewis said. "I dont normally give out game balls, but I gave that one to Zimmer. They played well today. They were tight in coverage most of the day. Upfront, they got after it." Geno Atkins sacked Brady on his first pass attempt, and the Bengals (3-2) dropped him four times overall. And that wasnt all: New England (4-1) failed to get into the end zone after a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter. One yard too much for New England? Stunning. "Im bummed that we lost," Brady said of his broken streak. "I think thats all that really matters." A driving rain moved in just before New Englands final chance. After a couple of dropped passes, Brady threw one toward the goal line and Adam "Pacman" Jones made a juggling interception inside the Cincinnati 5-yard line. Some finish. "We knew we were going to have our hands full, but we were able to get to Brady on the second play," defensive tackle Domata Peko said. "After that, you could see he was a little shaky. If you hit somebody enough, theyre going to make mistakes." Brady had thrown a touchdown pass in 52 straight games, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind Drew Brees 54-game streak. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since a 16-9 loss to the Jets on Sept. 20, 2009. "All week long, all you guys were talking about was Tom Brady," safety Chris Crocker said. "We wanted them to be talking about us." They are now, with good reason. Two weeks earlier at Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals defence stymied Rodgers in a 34-30 win over Green Bay, overcoming four turnovers by Cincinnatis offence that gave the Packers good field position. Brady never got into a rhythm against Cincinnatis unrelenting pass rush. He finished 18 of 38 for 197 yards with one interception and a paltry passer rating of 52.2. Cincinnatis defence even had a hand -- well, a shoulder -- in the winning touchdown. The Bengals had failed to score a touchdown during a 17-6 loss at Cleveland, one that left them looking to establish an identity on offence by running the ball. They did what they wanted in one grinding drive. Cincinnati went 93 yards in 14 plays for its touchdown, holding the ball for 7 minutes, 48 seconds. Peko came in as a blocking fullback on third-and-goal from inside the 1-yard line but took off too soon, a false start. Andy Dalton scrambled to the 1 on a keeper, and Peko came in and plowed the way for Green-Ellis to score on fourth down. Dalton was 20 of 27 for 212 yards with four sacks and one costly interception. He scrambled away from pressure and threw back across the field in the first quarter, getting intercepted by Brandon Spikes at the 8-yard line. It was the first time during his three-year career that Dalton threw an interception on a play that started inside the opponents 20-yard line. Given how the defence was playing, the one touchdown drive was good enough. "Its definitely fun to watch those guys go out and play," Dalton said. "Theyre doing so many good things, and to see what they do to a guy like Tom Brady and what theyve done to a lot of these quarterbacks -- theyre some of the best in the league. "Theyre playing unbelievable." Notes: Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski was inactive for the fifth time. Hes recovering from a forearm injury and back surgery. ...
