Week 5 Primer: Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) at Dallas Cowboys (3-1)

After getting back on track thanks to A.J. Green and the returning Vontaze Burfict, the Bengals will look to build on their primetime victory. To do so, they’re going to have to beat a Dallas Cowboys team led by young quarterback Dak Prescott and the All-Pro offensive line protecting him. There will be a battle of the running backs with the youngsters Jeremy Hill and rookie Ezekiel Elliott toting the rock for their teams. A (hopefully) returning Tyler Eifert will aim to help Cincinnati cure its red zone woes. All in all, it’s going to be a great inter-conference game.
