IRVING, Texas - After letting a 17-point lead shrivel to one, then breaking up a 2-point conversion that could've tied it, the Cowboys had plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Dallas (4-1) led 17-0 after only three drives, but ended up needing big plays to stave off the bumbling Bengals (0-5) on Sunday.
Tony Romo was 14-for-23 for a season-low 176 yards, but threw three touchdown passes - two in the fourth quarter. He also threw another interception, making it eight straight games, lost a fumble and was out of sync with Terrell Owens until a 57-yard TD hookup in the fourth period.

Dal-FG Folk 30, 13:06.

Dal-F.Jones 33 run (Folk kick), 6:00.

Second Quarter

Dal-Witten 4 pass from Romo (Folk kick), 12:12.
