Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was 17 for 24 for 321 yards passing and a touchdown as the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 36-21, from Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio Sunday.
The Bengals received the ball first and began with a drive that largely featured Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green. Dalton was 4 for 4 on the series, hitting Green for 3 receptions and 51 yards. Running back Jeremy Hill finished the effort by running 8 yards for the touchdown and an early 7-0 Bengals lead.
Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos answered with a field goal, but on the ensuing drive, the Bengals struck again with a 16-yard touchdown courtesy of RB Giovani Bernard to make it 14-3 late in the first quarter.
