The narrative for the Dallas Cowboys was consistent going into the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. This was the best opponent they had faced this season. The Bengals had a defense that had not given up a rushing touchdown, and were able to get consistent pressure with their front four. A.J. Green is one of the premiere receivers, and Andy Dalton is certainly better than the likes of Brian Hoyer and Blaine Gabbert. With Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, and Orlando Scandrick out, and Tyron Smith and Dan Bailey still a bit banged up, the Cowboys would need to play their best to have a chance.
