'Boys Will Battle Bengals
Dallas will play a fifth preseason game.
NEW YORK (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys will play the Cincinnati
Bengals in the 2010 Hall of Fame exhibition game, one day after
Cowboys star Emmitt Smith and longtime Bengals coach Dick LeBeau
are inducted.
The game will be played on Aug. 8 in Canton, Ohio, marking the
beginning of the NFL's preseason schedule.
Induction ceremonies will be held on Aug. 7. Smith, the NFL's
career leader in yards rushing, was elected along with six other
players, including Jerry Rice, John Randle, Rickey Jackson, Russ
Grimm and Floyd Little.
LeBeau will be enshrined as a Detroit Lions cornerback. But the
current defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers also
spent 18 years as a coach with the Bengals, including three as head
coach from 2000-02.
