CINCINNATI -- Asked how surprising it was to see his team get run over so completely, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis answered with a question.You want the press conference answer or the honest answer? Lewis said. Told that honesty was preferred, Lewis responded, Cant give that one.His hesitance said it all. A 28-14 loss in Dallas that was essentially over early in the third quarter left the Bengals (2-3) in a very uncomfortable spot. They played their worst game in years, and now are off to their worst start since 2010, when they won four games.Up next is a trip to New England (4-1) for Tom Bradys home opener. The Bengals havent won in New England since 1986, losing six straight there, so it seems foreboding.If I watched the way we played yesterday, Id say the same thing, defensive end Carlos Dunlap said.The Bengals spent Monday re-watching the game at Dallas, with no more insight as to why so much went so wrong. The Cowboys (4-1) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and led 28-0 early in the third quarter before easing up.There was not a lot to be happy about, Lewis said.The biggest issues were on defense. The Bengals knew that Dallas would run right at them, trying to keep rookie quarterback Dak Prescott out of stressful situations. The Cowboys did whatever they wanted to do, with Ezekiel Elliott running for 134 yards on only 15 carries -- his 60-yard touchdown run put the game away early in the third quarter.Prescott threw for a touchdown and ran for another. The Cowboys piled up 180 yards on the ground, the most allowed by a Bengals defense since Seattle ran for 200 in the fifth game last season.Last season, the Bengals allowed only seven opponents to rush for 100 yards in 17 games; theyve already done it three times in five games.Cincinnati figured the defense would be back in form with linebacker Vontaze Burfict back from his three-game NFL suspension, but everything was out of sorts in Dallas.You cant have games like that, defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said, taking a break from watching video of the Patriots 33-13 win in Cleveland on Sunday.Its just uncharacteristic, and quite honestly I was surprised how the game came out. I give Dallas credit. They beat us up front.The Bengals are at a crossroads. The defending AFC North champions already trail Pittsburgh (4-1) by two games and Baltimore (3-2) by one. The previous time they started 2-4, the Bengals ended up at 4-12.Im motivated from yesterday, Dunlap said. We have a challenge now to get back to playing our way.Game notes Running back Jeremy Hill aggravated a sore left shoulder on Sunday and was limited to four carries for 12 yards. Hill said on Monday that the injury isnt serious and he expects to be available to play in New England. ... Burfict was on the field for 44 of the defenses 57 plays. Guenther said its part of the progression of getting the linebacker back to full form after missing the first three games. In his first game back against the Dolphins, Burfict was on the field for 34 of the 45 plays.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL San Francisco Giants Shirts .

NORMAN, Okla. -- Last season, Oklahoma reached the Final Four. This season, the coaches have picked the Sooners to finish sixth in the Big 12.The reasons are many. The core of the team, Buddy Hield, Isaiah Cousins and Ryan Spangler, has moved on. Hield, an All-American who was edged by Michigan States Denzel Valentine for AP Player of the Year, now plays for the New Orleans Pelicans.Oklahoma still expects to be competitive as the holdovers take on more significant roles.Theyre a talented group, coach Lon Kruger said. How quickly they mature and grow into those roles remains to be seen, but certainly, we need them to do that. I think they can, and hopefully, even more quickly than people expect them to.Jordan Woodard, a senior who has started every game of his career, was second on the team with 13 points per game last season and shot 45.5 percent from 3-point range. He played primarily shooting guard last season, but hell play point guard most of this season.As he did last year, we need him to score, Kruger said. We need him to push the pace. We need him to be aggressive defensively. With the other three guys, they had the target on their back. Now, Jordans going to have that target on his back. Hes got a big adjustment in terms of preparing for that.Center Khadeem Lattin, known as a defensive specialist, will be expected to score now. Lattin averaged 5.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and just over two blocks per game last season.Much more aggressive this year offensively, Kruger said. Hell be a guy that we need to score. Hell be able to. Hes worked hard, put a lot of time in. Hes shooting the ball well.Here are some things to watch for with the Sooners:LATTIN LEADERNow that there are spots available for new leaders, Lattin can be heard throughout practices.With the seniors gone, hes stepped up and ddone a really nice job verbally and vocally and providing enthusiasm and energy, Kruger said.dddddddddddd Khadeems brought that every day. Thats more of a natural role for him.THE WAIT IS OVERTalented swingmen Rashard Odomes and Dante Buford were behind more experienced players in the past, but they were good enough to play at most schools. Buford averaged 3.5 points last season. Odomes averaged 1.9 points. They will need to help replace Hields 25 points per game.FRESHMAN PHENOMKameron McGusty follows Hield as an Oklahoma recruit from Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas. The 6-foot-5 freshman guard will challenge for a starting job.Anytime you have a freshman coming in, youre never sure how quickly its going to transpire, Kruger said. Hes a scorer, a slasher, shoots the ball well. He will definitely play a significant role. What that is remains to be seen based on production and results, but hes doing a really good job in practice.FINAL FOUR CARRYOVERKruger said the experience of reaching the Final Four last season will help his team. More importantly, the work ethic the Sooners needed to get there has been instilled into the program by the departed seniors.Well see that, probably, for years to come, Kruger said. The investment they made, the time they put in certainly has been carried over by this group, and hopefully, the next group and the group after that.RISING STAR?Christian James, a 6-foot-4 guard, worked his way into the rotation late in the season and had some key moments for the Sooners. He scored 13 points in the Big 12 Tournament against West Virginia and 12 points in the NCAA Tournament win over Texas A&M. Expectations will be much higher this season. ' ' '
