Game Notes

Dolphins wake up, swat down the Bengals 31-16.

Cincinnati makes a fast start under new coach Dick LaBeau, taking a 13-0 lead. However, all the Bengals' momentum is wiped out when Jason Taylor forces a fumble and returns it 29 yards for a TD on the final play of the 1st half, cutting the deficit to 13-10.

Miami dominates the 2nd half as Lamar Smith's 29-yard TD run gives the Dolphins a 17-13 lead. Jay Fiedler then follows with a pair of TD passes to Oronde Gadsden for a 31-13 lead.
