If one play could sum up the Cincinnati Bengals against the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, it was Jason Witten obliterating a defensive back on the way to a big gain.
Seriously, it doesn’t get much more brutal than this:

That was Cincinnati safety Derron Smith, who was having a bad day along with the rest of his team—the ridiculous play eventually led to a Dallas touchdown, which put the Cowboys up 21-0 in the first half.
Rest assured the Bengals will have a field day with this one in the film room for weeks.
As for Witten, well, he’s still got it. Not only was the stiff arm the personification of the Cowboys beating the tar out of the Bengals, it was the theme of a team heading toward a 4-1 record with rookie Dak Prescott under center while waiting for Tony Romo to heal.
