DALLAS _ The two perceived strengths that should be carrying the Bengals through the early part of the season, their offensive line and the defense, have to be put into the dreaded underachieving category after they fell to 2-3 in the face of a 28-14 loss to the Cowboys that Bengals cornerback Adam Jones called “embarrassing.”
For the second time in two weeks a first-year starting quarterback torched them for 50 percent on third down as Dak Prescott rung up a 117. 9 passer rating while generating 12 plays of at least 10 yards in the first half.
