Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had a big game, and the Eagles could neither keep up nor keep the Bengals from marching up and down the field.
The Bengals won, 32-14, and scored the game’s first 29 points. Dalton threw a touchdown pass to Tyler Eifert late in the first half to make it 19-0 and another to Brandon LaFell on the first drive of the second as the Bengals put it out of reach.
Dalton threw for 332 yards as the Bengals won for the first time since Oct. 23.
The Bengals punted once all day, and they were up 29-7 when they did. The Eagles lost their third straight and fifth in their last six to fall to 5-7.
The Bengals improve to 4-7-1 and play at winless Cleveland next week. They’re mathematically still alive in the AFC North.
The Bengals ran up 412 yards of offense, more than making up for settling for field goals as they moved the ball early in the game. The home crowd gave struggling kicker Mike Nugent a sarcastic cheer when he opened the scoring with a 32-yard field goal.
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz threw 60 passes. He completed 36 of them for 308 yards and was intercepted three times.
