The Bengals first offense tuned for the Sept. 8 opener in Seattle with a touchdown drive that sent quarterback Andy Dalton into the pre-season sunset on a 70 percent night (seven of 10) Thursday night at Paul Brown Stadium. Then they stepped aside and watched rookie quarterback Jake Dolegala almost engineer a fourth-quarter comeback, but the Giants forced an incompletion on a tying two-point play to seal a 25-23 win.
