The Bengals won their fourth straight game yesterday by defeating the New York Jets 49-9 at Paul Brown Stadium. It’s been a long time since the Bengals won by 40 or more points and dominated in all 3 phases of the game (offense, defense, and special teams). Let’s take a look at a few players who shined in each of the three phases during Sunday’s win.
Offense:
Andy Dalton – Dalton had over 300 yards passing for a 3rd straight game and had a career high 5 TD passes. The Red Rifle is on fire. He finished with 19 completions on 30 attempts, 325 yards passing, 5 TD’s and 1 interception.
Marvin Jones – Second year wide receiver Marvin Jones had the best game of his young career. He had 8 receptions, 122 yards and 4 TD’s. He has 7 TD receptions on the year now and has caught a touchdown in each of the past 3 games.
Defense:
Chris Crocker – Crocker’s veteran presence has been felt as he has been a big help to this defense over the past few weeks. He picked off Geno Smith to start the 3rd quarter and returned the interception 32 yards for a TD. He also had 5 tackles and a pass defensed.
Adam Jones – With Leon Hall being out Adam Jones got the start and finished with 7 tackles, 2 passes defensed and the big 60 yard interception return for a TD to put the Bengals up 49-9 in the 4th quarter.
James Harrison – Harrison has his most active game, he had 6 tackles, a QB sack late in the game and another hit on the quarterback.
Special Teams:
Brandon Tate – Tate had a big 71 yard kick return just before halftime that set up the Bengals 4th touchdown of the game and put them up by a score of 28-6 at the half.
