Bengals turn into Wildcats and scratch out a win

Geoff Hobson

LANDOVER, Md. – On a day the Bengals became Wildcats, A.J. Green watched his quarterback bounce off the ropes when his first pass of the day never left his end zone for a touchdown. Then he watched him steady the offense when the game went careening in the third quarter during one of the more entertaining Bengals games you'll remember. Then he pronounced Sunday that Andy Dalton has "ice in his veins" after the Bengals cooled off RG III.

"That's the thing about Andy; he doesn't let anything get to him," Green said after the 38-31 video arcade victory over the Redskins at FedExField. "We don’t say anything to him because we know he's going from there and (making) the next play."

Throw in a smart, surprising game plan generated by offensive coordinator Jay Gruden not seen in these parts since Sam Wyche doodled on a napkin (head coach Marvin Lewis said it was probably the most creative of his 10 seasons) and Sunday had an old-time Bengals feel rollicking with offense and innovation as they sling-shot into first place in the AFC North with the Ravens at 2-1.

"We're starting to reach our potential," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said after watching one rookie throw a touchdown pass on his first NFL throw and three first- and second-year receivers catch touchdowns on the longest catches of their careers.

"We've got a lot of young guys on the line and at the skill positions. It's great they're able to get more confidence the better they play."

The first three Bengals touchdowns came off snaps to three different players and the last two came off the blistering right hand of Dalton as he jacked his fourth-quarter passer rating this season to a perfect 158.3.

Bengals outlast Griffin, Redskins

LANDOVER, Md. — Robert Griffin III gave the Washington Redskins everything he had.

Problem was, the Cincinnati Bengals defenders pounded the electric rookie every chance they got. And Griffin wasn’t good enough by his beat-up self to overcome a leaky defense and complete a second-half comeback that fell just short in Sunday’s 38-31 shootout loss to quarterback Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals in the Redskins’ home opener at FedEx Field.

Last year’s rookie star who led the Bengals to a playoff berth, Dalton lifted Cincinnati to a 2-1 start with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes after Griffin rallied the 1-2 Redskins to a 24-24 tie. All told, the Bengals scored on touchdowns of 73 yards — on a first-play direct-snap wildcat throw from rookie receiver Mohammed Sanu to A.J. Green — to support Dalton strikes of 59, 48 and 6 yards.

Box score: Bengals 38, Redskins 31


“We knew we had to keep scoring,” said Dalton, who threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns. “With the way they play their offense and the guys that they have, they can put the ball in the end zone quickly.”

The reason was Griffin, the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick in the April draft who ran for 85 yards and one score and threw for 221 more yards and another touchdown.

Griffin’s 2-yard sneak with 3:35 left cut Cincinnati’s lead to the final margin.

But his last-play heave with six seconds left from Washington’s 41-yard line fell incomplete after the Redskins were penalized for a 20-yard unsportsmanlike penalty after the Bengals had half their team on the field.
