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. ...

Speights stood at half court and encouraged the announced sellout crowd of 19,596 — or what was left of it, anyway — by waving his arms in the air. His teammates laughed, and so did almost everybody in the arena. Everybody, that is, except the Sacramento Kings. Klay Thompson scored 21 points, Curry had 13 points and five assists and the Warriors moved closer to securing a playoff berth by routing the Kings 102-69 on Friday night. "It was loud in there and my teammates were all the way on the court," said Speights, who had 12 points and 10 rebounds. "It was good to see support like that." The Warriors led 59-27 at halftime and 75-33 early in the third quarter, turning the game into a laugher. It was the fewest points Golden State has allowed this season and the fewest points Sacramento has scored. Not only did the Warriors (47-29) match last seasons win total, they also gained ground in the Western Conference playoff race. Golden State moved within 1 1/2 games of fifth-place Portland with six games to play after the Trail Blazers lost to Phoenix. "I just got a feeling well win more games than we did last year," Warriors coach Mark Jackson joked. "I got a strong feeling about that." DeMarcus Cousins finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Rudy Gay scored 10 points for the rebuilding Kings (27-49), who looked lost and lethargic against their Northern California rivals. Golden State outshot the Kings 44.7 per cent to 32.1 per cent, which was a season low by a Warriors opponent and a season low for Sacramento. The Warriors also outrebounded the Kings 58-44 and forced 16 turnovers to sweep the season series (4-0) for the first time since going 5-0 against Sacramento in 1991-92. "We were tentative. I thought we played soft for long stretches," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "We were not aggressive, we were very hesiitant and they had us on our heels.ddddddddddddquot; The Warriors crushed the Kings even while playing without starting centre Andrew Bogut and power forward David Lee. It was the fifth straight game Lee has missed because of a strained right hamstring and the fourth game in a row Bogut has sat out with a bruise in his pelvis and groin area. Jermaine ONeal had 13 points and nine rebounds, and Draymond Green added 10 points and 10 rebounds to help Golden State outscore Sacramento 54-28 in the paint. With Golden States starting big men sidelined, the coast was clear for Cousins to dominate down low. Instead, Sacramentos centre picked up two fouls in the first 1:48, Malone was called for a technical foul trying to defend him and the Warriors shut down Sacramento the rest of the quarter — and most of the game. The Kings started 1-for-11 shooting, including missing 10 straight shots and committing eight turnovers during a span of nearly nine minutes. The Warriors whipped the crowd into a frenzy after converting all those turnovers into a flurry of fast-break dunks. "It happened pretty fast, but once it started to happen, I just think guys got rattled," said Cousins, who spent most of the fourth quarter on the bench with a towel over his head. "We just never really recovered." With most of the team struggling and point guard Isaiah Thomas out for the sixth consecutive game with a bruised right quadriceps, the Kings provided little punch — and even less fight. Green caught a full-court pass from ONeal for an uncontested layup early in the third quarter. ONeal put his hands in the air as if he was signalling for a touchdown. The Warriors went ahead 75-33 moments later and spent most of the fourth quarter laughing and smiling on the bench, especially after Speights slam. NOTES: The fewest points the Kings had scored in a game previously this season came in a 99-79 loss to San Antonio on March 21. ... The fewest points the Warriors had allowed was in a 76-74 loss to the Spurs on Nov. 8. ... The Warriors finished 8-0 at home against Pacific Division opponents for the first time in franchise history.
