The next time we see most of them, they’ll be in the Black Hole in Oakland. And the Bengals’ first teamers dug themselves out of Monday night’s hole in Tampa with a thorough exhibition on both sides of the ball in Saturday night’s 21-10 pre-season victory over the Bears at Paul Brown Stadium.
Quarterbacks Andy Dalton and AJ McCarron went 12-for-12 in building a 21-3 half-time lead while converting five of their seven third downs.
The first defense opened the game forcing quarterback Jay Cutler to punt the first four times he had the ball.
