BENGALS MLB REY MAUALUGA VS. COWBOYS RB ZEKE ELLIOTT
Maualuga plays his road first game Sunday (4:25 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) without his long flowing hair that once symbolized strength to him.
But note that two days after he cut his hair to the short, crisp fashion his late father demanded, Maualuga was strong enough last Thursday night at Paul Brown Stadium to do what he’s done since they put him in the middle of the Bengals defense in 2011.
For the 64th time in his 74 starts at the MIKE backer, the Bengals held the line on a 100-yard rusher.
