Bengals D steps up in hostile Panthers stadium

Bengals at 1-1 head to Carolina who is 2-0. Cam Newton was not himself today as the Bengals roughed him up for 5 interceptions on the day. In the first quarter Colin battled through 1 int and Gano managed to get them on the board first with a fg. The Bengals responded by driving 75 yards down the field with a 7 yard toss play by Gio. Cam then got the ball back and headed down to the red zone where he would be picked off again and the Bengals looked to build a lead. Gio has been big as a back up this season as he spells Mixon and he sure did with a 40+ yard gain bringing the Bengals to the goal line where Mixon would bulldoze it in. Mean while Andy Dalton was managing the game to perfection. Benard stayed hot early in the 2nd half picking up a 29 yard td and Cam still was colder than an ice sickle throwing a couple more int's. Late in the fourth Colin would find Rookie D.J. Moore in the back of the end zone. He was looking for him all day and finally hit him where it count. Cincinnati wins 24-10 moving to 2-1 and pushing Carolina to 2-1 as well. Cincinnati looks to build a streak and take out a tough Atlanta team. Carolina heads into their bye week wondering what happened.
