It was a battle of epic proportions. In one corner, Chris Mack. In the other, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton.

The game: Pop-a-Shot.

The players squared off Tuesday at Hofbräuhaus Newport in the season debut of Beyond the Stripes, Cincinnati.com's weekly online show featuring Bengals players and questions/commentary from Paul Dehner, Jr., Jim Owczarski, Lindsay Patterson and Paul Daugherty.
