Dalton, Bengals take losing record into Brady’s home opener

Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals fell flat in their quarterback’s pseudo homecoming to Texas. The 36-year-old veteran played in only four games last season after breaking his collarbone twice in two different spots.

“So you’ve got to take it on the chin, suck it up and good players find a way to bounce back”.

The Dallas Cowboys will meet the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 3:25pm CST on Fox.

The Cowboys fourth consecutive win is eliciting quality feelings amongst the Dallas fan base.

Yesterday was easily the best performance of the season for Dallas’ pass rush. “I was fortunate that we ran the ball a lot”. They didn’t allow their first four opponents to run for very much, they didn’t let anyone run into the end zone in those first four games. Brandon LaFell, who scored two touchdowns led all receivers with 68 yards on eight receptions.

Marvin Lewis leaned back in his chair and couldn’t help but laugh. Prescott has now gone 155 attempts without throwing a pick while tossing four touchdowns to lead the Cowboys to a 4-1 record. He had his first turnover on a lost fumble, but he helped guarantee a winning record for Dallas going into the October 30 game against Philadelphia.

If Jones continues to bat for Tony Romo, it won’t be surprising if Dak Prescott walks at some point moving forward. “You can’t say, ‘Aw, I’ll get that next year.’ If a team is willing to build an offense around a young running back …” “I will be locked into the game plan, that defense, and what we have to do to win the game”. The Cowboys piled up 180 yards on the ground, the most allowed by a Bengals defence since Seattle ran for 200 in the fifth game last season. Dalton finished 29 of 41 for 269 yards.

“This will be put behind us”, Claiborne said. This is largely because of Prescott but we can not forget about the best offensive line in football and another rookie sensation in Ezekiel Elliot. If so, they left a mark.

Elliott’s 60 yard touchdown run was the longest play from scrimmage for the Dallas Cowboys offense all season, proving that he is capable of taking it to the house every time he touches the ball.

The Cowboys’ stubborn owner/general manager reiterated his intention to bench Dak Prescott – the interception-less, rookie-revelation starting quarterback of his first-place club – in favor of human dice-roll Tony Romo in the coming weeks.

If Romo comes back and can’t play, then Prescott will have earned the starting job over him. Romo will undergo an MRI Monday and the team is expecting good news about the QB’s fractured vertebrae from the procedure. The outspoken host of ESPN First Take shows no sign of respect toward Jerry Jones.
