LANDOVER http://www.texansauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kahale-warrin g-jersey , Md. (AP)Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals¡¯ starters shrugged off a rough start to the preseason to finish exactly the way they wanted. 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 23-17 on the strength of their backups. A.J. Green had four catches for 43 yards, Jeremy Hill ran for 15 yards and the Bengals regulars¡¯ first exhibition touchdown before his day was cut short with an ankle injury. ¡±We just executed,¡± Green said. ¡±Once we¡¯re clicking on all cylinders and everybody¡¯s getting their touches, we can be a dangerous offense.¡±Article continues below ... And a dangerous defense, too. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict intercepted Redskins quarterback Kirk 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. Chris Smith and rookies Jordan Willis and Carl Lawson each sacked Cousins as defensive coordinator Paul Guenther seems to have the edge rushers he was looking for. ¡±Good job today on third down Cullen Gillaspia Jersey , which was key,¡± Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said after his team dropped to 1-2 in the preseason. ¡±We haven¡¯t played as well on third down defensively this preseason yet and so we made some good strides.¡± It was the opposite for Cousins and the Redskins¡¯ starters, who ended their preseason with nine three-and-outs on 15 possessions. Washington went three-and-out four times on Sunday as Cousins was 10 of 19 for 109 yards and an interception, which he called ¡±entirely¡± his fault. After generating 1 whole yard in the first quarter, the starters eventually put together a touchdown drive, but there¡¯s reason for the Redskins (1-2) to be worried about slow starts continuing in the regular season. ¡±I¡¯m a little concerned,¡± coach Jay Gruden said. ¡±We just got to figure out something new Tytus Howard Jersey , maybe eat a different pregame meal or something.¡± INJURY UPDATE Bengals: RB Giovani Bernard ran for 25 yards on four carries in his first game since tearing the ACL in his left knee last season. ¡­ Along with his game-ending back injury, Burfict was evaluated for a concussion but cleared. ¡­ RB Cedric Peerman suffered a left shoulder injury and TE Mason Schreck left with a knee injury. ¡­ TE Tyler Eifert (tendinits) did not dress. Redskins: DL Phil Taylor injured his left quadriceps muscle on the first defensive series and will have an MRI. ¡­ LB Junior Galette, who had been out with a hamstring injury, saw his first game action since Dec. 28, 2014. ¡­ TE Jordan Reed made two catches for 12 yards after missing the past month with a toe injury. ¡­ WR Josh Doctson sat out with hamstring/groin soreness, and rookie LB Ryan Anderson was out with a shoulder stinger. ROOKIE WATCH Bengals: WR John Ross flashed some speed on a jet sweep in his preseason debut. Ross, who set the 40-yard dash record at the scouting combine and was a first-round pick Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , had been held out to recover from shoulder surgery. ¡­ RB Joe Mixon, getting extra carries with Hill going out with an injury, ran eight times for 31 yards and fumbled an exchange with Dalton. ¡­ DT Ryan Glasgow made a fourth-and-1 stop in the third quarter. Redskins: C Chase Roullier, starting in place of the injured Spencer Long, had some good downfield blocking on a day most of the offensive line struggled. ¡­ RB Samaje Perine didn¡¯t do much to challenge Rob Kelley¡¯s starting job, gaining 5 yards on 5 carries. ¡­ CB Joshua Holsey had a sack and looks like a good bet to make the roster. POSITION BATTLES Bengals: Hill versus Mixon got derailed by injury, and Bernard¡¯s return adds him to the mix. ¡­ K Randy Bullock made a 53-yard field goal http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ben-banogu-jer sey , while rookie Jake Elliott was wide right from 45 yards, his first miss of the preseason. Redskins: Zach Brown and Mason Foster again started at inside linebacker, leaving Will Compton to play with the second team. QUOTABLE Ross: ¡±This is my first week so I¡¯ve still got a lot of growing to do, a lot of learning to do.¡± Gruden on Cousins¡¯ attempt to tackle Burfict: ¡±To let a guy score a touchdown on our home field is unacceptable, so I¡¯m happy he did that.¡± ¡ª Seahawks rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf had knee surgery this week, but the team was optimistic before the operation that he could make a quick return to action.Nothing that happened during the operation led them to change their mind. Head coach Pete Carroll said on Wednesday that it will be a ¡°shorter return than long¡± for the second-round pick.¡°It was a minimal surgery and minimal findings, so we have high expectations Khari Willis Jersey ,¡± Carroll said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. ¡°We¡¯ll go week-to-week with it, see how he does. We really don¡¯t have any concern that he won¡¯t get back soon. We¡¯re excited that we got it done. It was the kind of deal that we could have put off and waited, but we thought we¡¯d use the time frame that we had available and hopefully it¡¯ll work out just right for us.¡±Carroll said the biggest concern he has is that Metcalf missed out on a chance to benefit from a full complement of preseason snaps, but added that he¡¯s confident Metcalf ¡°can do the stuff that we need him to do.¡±
