The Bengals had a golden opportunity to get things back on track and regain control of the football game coming into the second half. They began the half at the 20-yard line on a touchback and began to get to work.

Quarterback Andy Dalton completed two consecutive passes to Armon Binns and Jermaine Gresham, respectively and things looked up. Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis kept up his one-yard per carry pace and the Bengals had a manageable third down situation. Dalton dropped back and threw a pass directly to defensive lineman Randy Starks and the Dolphins are in business.
