Dalton, Green lead Bengals past woeful Chiefs

Published: Nov 18, 2012 at 08:23 AM

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, and A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth consecutive game as the Cincinnati Bengals beat the woeful Kansas City Chiefs 28-6 on Sunday.

Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab, and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and one touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second in a row following a maddening four-game losing streak.

Cincinnati now plays its next four games against teams with losing records.

None of them are as bad as the Chiefs.

Jamaal Charles had 87 rushing yards for Kansas City (1-9), but he was the only highlight for a team that lost its seventh consecutive game amid a gloomy Arrowhead Stadium crowd.
