The biggest mystery after the game was why weren’t Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens on the field for the final play of the first half. It really didn’t get solved with the postgame comments.
Ochocinco’s was answered. He went in 30 seconds early. Coach Marvin Lewis said the reason was to get an IV which is standard during games early in the season. We have seen it a couple times during the past couple years.
As for Owens, who left with one second remaining, that one is a little more murky.
One assumption would be that Owens thought the half was over but Lewis said: “Terrell went in to get worked in and looked at.”
When pressed on what he was getting looked at, Lewis said: “Just getting looked at, that’s our business.”
Owens’ response to the question got testier as it continued to be asked. Here’s the 30 second summary:
Q: Why did you go into the locker room a little bit early at the end of the first half?
TO: “Coach said he would address that.”
Q: Coach said you needed to come in to get something looked at?
TO: “Coach said he would address that.”
Q: Are you worried at all about the perceptions that neither you or Chad were on the field?
TO: “Coach said he would address that. Guys I mean how many ways are you going to ask me and I don’t know how many ways I’m going to answer. He said he would address it.”
