The Bengals have a 13-0 lead over the Eagles in the second quarter Sunday -- and probably feel it should be more.

The Bengals have points on their first three possessions, but twice have settled for field goals after driving inside the Eagles’ 20-yard line.

To start, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is 8-of-11 for 138 yards. The first career catch by rookie wide receiver Cody Core set up Jeremy Hill’s 2-yard touchdown run that made it 10-0.

Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis missed a 51-yard field goal off the upright in the second quarter.
