It will be strength against strength Sunday afternoon when the Cincinnati Bengals travel to AT&T Stadium to take on the Dallas Cowboys.
After a season in which the Bengals finished in the top five in the NFL in rushing defense, Cincinnati held the Pittsburgh Steelers to 75 yards on the ground and four first downs rushing.
The Bengals’ defense features DJ Reader and B.J. Hill in the middle, with Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard providing the bulk of the pass rush. Logan Wilson and Germaine Pratt anchor a solid linebacking corps and cornerbacks Chidobe Awuzie, Eli Apple and Mike Hilton are proving to be more than a handfull for opposing quarterbacks.
