ARLINGTON, Texas _ As much as the Bengals must be wondering about how their first offensive line played in Saturday night’s 21-13 victory over the Cowboys, they have to be as delighted about not only the first defensive line but each one that head coach Marvin Lewis calls “a wave.” Keyed by a flood of young players, the Bengals stuffed Dallas’ vaunted run game, ranked second the past two seasons, on 3.9 yards per 23 carries. 

ARLINGTON, Texas _ Jonathan Brown had “no clue,” his 55-yard field goal in Friday night’s 21-13 pre-season victory over the Cowboys for the Bengals’ first points would have tied the club record if it had occurred in the regular season.

The Bengals rallied from a 10-0 half-time deficit and scored all 21 points in the second half.
