Pretty unexpected outcome on the part of the Eli Manning and the NY Giants.
Bengals got their collective juices together on this one.
Andy Dalton threw a career-high four touchdown passes -- each to a different receiver -- and the Cincinnati Bengals ended their four-game losing streak by beating the reeling New York Giants 31-13 on Sunday.
Manning was sacked a season-high four times by a defense that hardly touched his brother. He also threw two interceptions under pressure that led to Bengals TDs and a 31-6 lead in the third quarter. Manning finished 29-of-46 for 215 yards, falling to 1-2 career against Cincinnati.
The Giants gave up a 68-yard punt return, Victor Cruz dropped a pass at the goal line, and New York's four turnovers in a horrific second half helped the Bengals pull away.
"Just a little subpar from what we're used to," Cruz said, who had three catches for only 26 yards. "I don't know how to explain it. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's wrong."
