Carlos Dunlap was not going to let this one get away.Dunlap Germaine Pratt Jersey Mens , who along with Geno Atkins form the only tandem in the NFL with more than 70 career sacks each, turned in one of the best performances of his career Sunday in leading a defensive charge that rattled Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and propelled the Cincinnati Bengals to their first victory of the season.Now in his 10th year, Dunlap, who came into the game with just 2.5 sacks, is closing in on Eddie Edwards’ all-time sack record of 83.5. He finished with three sacks on the day and upped his career total to 78. Dunlap posted seven total tackles (six solos) and six quarterback hits, and even added a pass defensed in one of the most dominant performances of the season for any defensive lineman.And he got plenty of help, both from his running mates on the defensive side of the ball and from the Bengals’ special teams, who kept New York pinned back throughout most of the afternoon. The Jets began seven of their drives inside of their own 20 yard line. New York started drives at its own 8, 10, 2, 9 and 14 yard lines.“We talked about field position, it was going to be huge,” head coach Zac Taylor said after the game. “We felt like we won that battle.”Midway through the third quarter, Stanley Morgan downed a Kevin Huber punt at the Jets’ 2-yard-line, and a holding penalty on left tackle Kelvin Beachum resulted in a safety that propelled the Bengals to a 13-point lead at 19-6. A 47-yard field goal by Randy Bullock less than five minutes later put Cincinnati ahead by more than two scores for the first time all season.New York came into the game red hot as the only team in the Super Bowl era to score 34 points three games in a row. It left with only six points on the scoreboard Youth Germaine Pratt Jersey , and none after halftime thanks to a defense that has continued to make improvements over the last three weeks. Cincinnati held the Raiders to 17 points two weeks ago and surrendered just 16 points last week to the Steelers.“They’ve been building off of each performance every week and their confidence keeps growing,” Taylor.A big reason for that success was the job the Cincinnati front did in shutting down the Jets’ rushing attack. Le’Veon Bell, who had been a Bengals’ killer in the past, was held to 32 yards on 10 carries. The Jets managed just 62 yards on the ground on 17 carries for an average of 3.6 yards per carry.In addition to Dunlap, right end Sam Hubbard also played a big role in the Bengals’ defensive resurgence. Hubbard recorded five total tackles, a sack and a quarterback hit, and frequently dropped back into coverage to help finally clog the middle of what had been a porous Cincinnati defense.“That’s where it all starts, is up front,” said Cincinnati safety Shawn Williams, “Controlling the line of scrimmage, penetrating, getting downhill and playing fast.” Tights ends and running backs accounted for 10 of the 28 total completions thrown by Darnold, but for a total of just 74 yards. Darnold, who appeared confused by the multiple fronts thrown at him by Bengals’ defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, completed 28 of 48 passes for 239 yards (an average of just five yards per completion) and an overall rating of 71.4 White Germaine Pratt Jersey , his worst showing since his disastrous outing when he saw “ghosts” against New England back on October 21.“I hope he saw ghosts again today,” Dunlap said. “I think Shawn told me that he heard him say it again.”Cincinnati linebackers stepped up, as well, with Nick Vigil, who was questionable coming into the game, finishing with six total tackles and rookie Germaine Pratt chipping in five more. What did this win mean to the Bengals? “A big burden lifted off of our shoulders,” Dunlap said. “We’ve been working for this for so long. We came up short so many times.”Not this time, though. Thanks to Dunlap and his crew.“Great defense,” Dunlap stressed. That’s pretty much it.” Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Jonathan Fanene faces charges he used a pipe, golf club and broom handle to assault his wife and his sister over allegations he had an extramarital affair while on a trip to Hawaii, according to court documents filed this week.Fanene has been charged in the district court of American Samoa with eight felonies, including kidnapping and assault, and five misdemeanors.

She also sustained injuries to her buttocks, the upper portion of both arms and her lips, court documents say.His wife filed a criminal complaint against Fanene on May 29. She allegedly told police that she was informed by her sister-in-law that Fanene was seen in Hawaii with another woman and that Fanene had a "hickey" on his neck.The wife told Fanene about what his sister had said, and Fanene "flew into a rage and proceed to assault his sister with his hands," inside the couple home, the affidavit alleges.The wife told police that she tried to "run for the door" but Fanene "threw a chair at her, he then grabbed her and dragged her (back) into the house," the affidavit further alleges, noting that Fanene "then instructed their 9 year old son to grab "the bat", but the (son) brought back a wooden stick."Fanene then "used these objects to assault her and her sister-in-law," according to the wife's statement to police cited in the affidavit.The wife said she tried numerous times to get away from her husband, but he would catch her and beat her up."At one point during the course of the physical onslaught, she got up on the couch to distance herself from him, but he assaulted her with the pipe," the affidavit says. The affidavit adds that the wife was finally able to grab and remove the pipe and stick from her husband Color Rush Drew Sample Jersey , but "he grabbed a commercial grade extension cord, wound it around his hand, and proceed to whip her and her sister-in-law with it."The wife told police that Fanene "would physically assault her and his sister; stop the assault — as though he was 'taking a break' — and would lecture them, only to resume the physical onslaught again," the affidavit says.The wife also told police that at one time Fanene "hit her so hard that she 'blacked-out' momentarily and when opened her eyes, she heard someone gasping for air only to realize moments later it was her."She told police that she "thought he was going to kill her right there and then".The affidavit outlined other alleged incidents of assaults dating back to 2009, including Fanene twice holding a .357 revolver to his wife's head and once stomping on her head after she found an email he sent to another woman.When searching the couple's home, police found two shotguns, neither of which were registered with the Department of Public Safety. It was unclear if he will face charges over the shotguns.
