Dallas Cowboys 31, Cincinnati Bengals 22
The Bengals showed a lot of heart last week as they gave the Cowboys a scare in Dallas. Carson Palmer started despite playing with a bum elbow and he completed 23 of 39 passes for 217 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception. T.J. Houshmandzadeh also had a great game catching 7 passes for 85 yards (12.1 avg) with both TD grabs from Palmer. But the running game of the Bengals was non existant once again and it hurt them in this game. They rushed for only 61 yards on 23 carries (2.7 ypc) with Cedric Benson (30 yards) and Chris Perry (31 yards) splitting the workload. The Bengals’ defense however did not play well as the Cowboys rolled up 198 yards rushing on 38 carries (5.2 ypc) and it killed them in the end. The Bengals are now 0-5 on the season as it spins out of control.
