Dallas Cowboys 28, Cincinnati Bengals 14
Highest-graded players and top takeaways from the Cowboys’ Week 5 home win over the Bengals.
Andy Dalton 75.9
Dalton struggles to push ball downfield in meager first half
Andy Dalton was okay in Week 5, posting a solid grade, but much of that work came in the fourth quarter when the Bengals were down four touchdowns, and the Cowboys were willing to sit back in coverage and watch the time tick off the clock. In the first half, Dalton only had one positively-graded throw, putting the Bengals in a hole that they could not climb out of.
