CINCINNATI -- Andy Dalton was sharp in his return, leading the Cincinnati Bengals into field-goal range on his only drive during the Minnesota Vikings 17-16 preseason victory Friday night.Daltons season ended at Paul Brown Stadium last Dec. 13 when he broke the thumb on his passing hand while making a tackle during an interception return.On Friday night, he completed his first four passes for 32 yards. He threw too high for A.J. Green on a third-down play, and Mike Nugent was wide right on a 48-yard field-goal attempt that ended the drive and Daltons day.I thought it went smooth, Dalton said. I thought it was crisp and sharp. I wish we would have scored.The teams held joint practices in Cincinnati the past two days, with the Vikings defense getting pressure on Dalton. He had plenty of time to complete quick throws in his limited stint on Friday.Cincinnatis starting defense was in for only one series that lasted three plays. Tackle Geno Atkins chased Teddy Bridgewater out of the pocket on one play, and then sacked him on the next. Those were the Vikings only plays in the opening quarter.Facing the second-team defense on the next series, Bridgewater threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Charles Johnson that completed a 96-yard drive. Bridgewater played two series and was 6 of 7 for 92 yards.A LONG WAY FOR NOTHINGAJ McCarron led the Bengals on a 22-play, 89-yard drive the second time Cincinnati got the ball. The drive lasted 12 minutes, 24 seconds and ended with the Bengals coming up short on fourth-and-1 at the 3.JUST ENOUGHMinnesotas Blair Walsh kicked a 51-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, the ball landing on the crossbar and bouncing through.ROOKIE WATCHVikings: First-round pick Laquon Treadwell, a receiver from Mississippi, had a team-high four catches for 41 yards.Bengals: Tyler Boyd made a nice, over-the-shoulder catch for a 40-yard gain that set up a touchdown, the only catch by the second-round pick. Nothing really too special about it, Boyd said. Just a basic route that weve been running a lot in practice. ... Undrafted Alex Erickson returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown with 2:45 left.POSITION BATTLESVikings: CB Trae Waynes, Minnesotas first-round pick last year, started in place of the injured Terence Newman and had a solid showing. He broke up a long pass to Boyd, and quickly tackled receiver Cody Core after a catch, preventing a first down, one of his four tackles in the game. I feel a lot more comfortable going into my second season, Waynes said.Bengals: With their top two tight ends hurt -- Tyler Eifert and Tyler Kroft -- their reserves were reduced to blocking roles.INJURY UPDATEVikings: RB Adrian Peterson was among those held out. He suffered a hamstring pull while working out before the start of training camp.Bengals: RB Jeremy Hill hurt his left hand in the first quarter, had it examined and stayed on the sideline but didnt return.QUOTABLEVikings: Treadwell, on his first NFL game: It felt great to be out there. It was actually a lot of fun.Bengals: DE Carlos Dunlap, on the starting defenses limited time on the field: It was just three plays, but thats all we wanted to play because we knew the (starters) probably were going to get only one possession.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Max 270 Mens Canada .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.
