JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Cincinnati Bengals were so sharp against Jacksonville that Andy Dalton and several teammates were done long before halftime.Dalton led the Bengals to two touchdowns in three possessions, earning him a little extra rest in a 26-21 loss to the Jaguars in the preseason Sunday night.It was a good outing for us, Dalton said. Two touchdowns in the first half of a preseason game is pretty good, and we got them both ways. ... Its a good feeling to do it both ways.The Bengals (2-1) felt good on both sides of the ball, too. Dalton found Giovani Bernard for a 19-yard score on a third-down play, and then Jeremy Hill capped a 9-minute drive with a 1-yard scramble to the pylon.

And special teams ace Cedric Peerman broke his left forearm and could be sidelined for the season.Safety Tashaun Gipson (bruised knee) was Jacksonvilles only injured starter.The Jaguars (0-3) had bigger problems -- the offense and defense both failed to show -- that raised questions about whats supposed to the franchises most talented team in nearly a decade.ROOKIE WATCHBengals: WR Alex Erickson scored for the third straight game, stating his case to make the team.

Playing in only his third game of the season, he showed no sign of injury on the field against the Bengals.Later, however, Dumervil felt the pain.It was hard walking up the stairs with my baby girl after the game, he confessed. That was pretty difficult.Difficult is a good word to describe this season for Dumervil, a standout pass rusher who set a Ravens record in 2014 with 17 sacks. A two-time Associated Press All-Pro, Dumervil has 97 sacks since entering the league in 2006.This marks the first time since 2010 that Dumervil, 32, hasnt played at least 14 games. After undergoing surgery on his foot over the summer, he fully expected to be ready for the season opener.He missed three games before getting his first action on Oct. 2. Dumervil played the following week, too, but didnt have a single tackle in either game.The first time around, the strength wasnt there, he said. So we went back to the drawing board and were able to come up with a game plan. Give credit to the training staff and the weight room guys.Five weeks of treatment, lifting and angst culminated with a performaance last week that essentially served as his season opener.ddddddddddddIve still got to get back in football shape in a sense, Dumervil acknowledged. Theres a lot I can work on to get better at. But I am a little fresher, Ill say that.The return of Dumervil gives Baltimore a solid pass rush on both sides of the line. Terrell Suggs and Dumervil teamed for 29 sacks in 2014, and on Sunday they accounted for all three of the Ravens sacks.He adds to our arsenal. You definitely want a guy like Dumervil back on the field, Suggs said. We love having him back.Its been an uphill climb for Dumervil, whose only previous brush with a serious injury came in 2010, when he tore his pectoral muscle in August and was placed on injured reserve. Although the foot injury lingered far longer than expected, Dumervil always expected to return.As a competitor and a winner, sometimes you think youre invincible. And then you get humbled, he said. I cant control things I cant control. What I could control is going out and doing my rehab, eating right, working out and doing the things necessary to be a pro. Thats what Ive done.Dumervil and the Ravens on Sunday face the streaking Miami Dolphins, who have won six straight . In five games against Miami, Dumervil has 13 tackles, 4+ sacks and a forced fumble.For the most part my body is on track, Dumervil said. But theres still a lot of work to get done, and Im excited for the challenge.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
