LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Andy Dalton and the Bengals’ starters looked regular-season ready, while Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins still have some work to do.
Dalton was 8 of 13 for 70 yards and Cincinnati’s first-team offense and defense looked sharp against Washington on Sunday as the Redskins won each team’s third preseason game 23-17 on the strength of their backups.
Linebacker Vontaze Burfict intercepted Cousins’ pass and returned it for a touchdown, stiff-arming the quarterback at the end zone and jumping into the stands, before leaving with a back injury.
