Cowboys Offense Looked Good Until Goal Line, T.O. is Go To for Bengals

Tony Romo led the Cowboys offense on an impressive opening drive until they reached the goal line.

The Dallas Cowboys offense looked sharp on its opening drive Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tony Romo and company didn’t seem like they lost a beat following a successful run in the playoffs last season.

They were crisp and picking apart the Bengals defense as they marched down the field. And then they stalled near the goal line. They would have come away with no points if not for a neutral zone penalty nullifying a fumble recovery for the Bengals.

They penalty gave the Cowboys first and goal inside the five, but still were unable to find the end zone and had to settle for a field goal.

It would be the only series for the Cowboys first-team offense.

Once the Bengals got the ball it became clear that Terrell Owens will play a big part in the Cincinnati offense this season.

Carson Palmer through to him routinely as Ochocinco was drawing double coverage. They connected once for seven yards and the Bengals offense was quickly off the field.

The Bengals offense got two looks on the field with Palmer immediately going back to T.O. on the first play of the second drive, connecting 11 yards and a first down. three short plays later and the Bengals first-team was also done.

CINCINNATI — Maybe receiver Chad Johnson can go by the name that his head coach hates.

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn’t return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.

“It’s something I don’t think anyone has ever done before,” he told the team’s Web site. “Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I’m having fun.”

Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker — a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 — and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis — who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts — referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the Bengals had no comment on the matter.

Johnson has been a concern for the Bengals this season. He unsuccessfully lobbied for a trade in the offseason, threatening to sit out if he didn’t get his way. when the Bengals refused, he relented and showed up for minicamp, but complained that his right ankle was bothering him.

He had bone spurs removed from the ankle and was limited at the start of training camp. In the second preseason game, he landed awkwardly and temporarily dislocated his left shoulder. Johnson is wearing a harness and expects to play in the season opener against Baltimore.
