Allardyce was dismissed, his tenure lasting only 67 days.Sc

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 Nike Air Max 270 Ispa Black .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

BERLIN -- While Germany eased to its second win in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, England showed it has much to do to placate fans frustrated that their expectations are not being met.Germany comfortably defeated the Czech Republic 3-0 and might have won by more, earning plaudits from supporters who indulged in Mexican waves and created a carnival atmosphere in Hamburg.England could manage only a 2-0 win over lowly Malta, a side ranked 176th by FIFA, for an uninspired start following coach Sam Allardyces dismissal over comments in a newspaper sting that called his integrity into question.Elsewhere, Robert Lewandowski scored for the seventh straight qualifying game, this time hitting a hat trick for Poland to beat Denmark 3-2 in Warsaw.Heres a closer look at Saturdays qualifying games and their respective groups. Only the group winners automatically qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.GROUP CThomas Mueller scored twice for the second game running as Germany produced a polished performance to see off the Czech Republic.Mueller, who scored twice in the opening 3-0 win in Norway, is yet to score in six Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich this season, but he opened the scoring early and completed it in the second half after Toni Kroos doubled the lead.Germany had almost three-quarters of the possession in the first half, seemingly almost all of it in the Czechs half, while 93 percent passing accuracy was an indication of the home sides dominance.The only quibble coach Joachim Loew could have had was that his side did not add to its goal tally despite the glut of chances before the break.Loew previously suggested the Czech Republic, which drew with Northern Ireland 0-0 in its opening group game, was Germanys toughest group opponent, but on this display it seems the World Cup champion will have little trouble in qualifying.Elsewhere, Northern Ireland defeated San Marino 4-0 in Belfast, and Maksim Medvedevs early goal was enough for Azerbaijan to beat Norway 1-0 in Baku, giving the team two wins in a World Cup group for the first time.ddddddddddddGROUP FGareth Southgate enjoyed a straightforward but unchallenging introduction to international management as a second new England era in a month opened with the victory over Malta.Daniel Sturridges header from Jordan Hendersons cross, and Dele Allis strike in the first half sealed it, but England lacked dynamism and urgency up front, especially in the second half.Regardless, this performance is unlikely to be a factor when the Football Association decides whether to entrust Southgate with the job as Allardyces permanent successor.Southgate was rapidly promoted from the under-21s last week after Allardyce was dismissed, his tenure lasting only 67 days.Scotland substitute James McArthur scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw with Lithuania in Glasgow, while another substitute, Rok Kronaveter earned Slovenia a 1-0 win at home over Slovakia.GROUP ELewandowski again met high expectations by scoring for the seventh consecutive qualifier with his third hat trick of the season to beat Denmark.He netted a cross by Kamil Grosicki in the 20th minute, and converted a penalty 16 minutes later. The hat trick was completed two minutes into the second half of a matchup between the two leading contenders to advance from Group E.An own goal by Kamil Glik gave Denmark its first goal, two minutes after Lewandowskis third, and substitute Yussuf Poulsen added the second in the 69th.Poland, chasing its first World Cup finals since 2006, is tied atop the group with Romania, which routed Armenia 5-0 away, and Montenegro, which grabbed its first win in qualifying with a 5-0 win over Kazakhstan in Podgorica. Denmark trails by a point. ' ' '
