Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco decided not to wear the No. 15 Chris Henry jersey Sunday against the San Diego Chargers and wore his regular jersey instead.
After talking it over with head coach Marvin Lewis, Ochocinco stated Saturday that he did not want to be a distraction.
The NFL Players Association offered to pay whatever fine would be levied against Ochocinco should he have in fact worn the jersey.
A moment of silence was observed prior to kickoff with emotions obviously still very raw for the Bengals.
In a classy move, Ochocinco simply dropped to his knees and looked to the sky after catching a 49-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer in the second quarter.
