In case you have not heard, college officials continue to referee preseason football games. Let's see how they call this game. 

8:07 Kickoff coming soon. Kenny, Moose and Goose calling game.

8:04 --------------Welcome to the live blog of the Atlanta Falcons vs. Cincinnati Bengals--------------------

The Atlanta Falcons and the Cincinnati Bengals will clash at the Georgia Dome for their second week of preseason football. Do not miss the action beginning at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

The Falcons and the Bengals had different experiences in their Week 1 matchups.

The Falcons were routed by the Baltimore Ravens 31-17. The important news for Atlanta was Matt Ryan's performance. He had 1 touchdown on 9/13 passing with 155 accumulated yards. Julio Jones caught 6 passes for 109 yards and a score.

The Bengals enjoyed a 17-6 victory over the new look New York Jets. Their special teams defense shined as they blocked a Jets' punt and recovered for the touchdown.

The only offensive score of the game came on a 1-yard run from third-year running back Cedric Peerman.

Their passing trio combined for 127 yards, completing 13/24 passes. Bruce Gradkowski went 5/10 for 84 yards. Last year's rookie sensation, Andy Dalton went 4/9 with 54 yards. Zac Robinson had the most efficient night, thought it was a small sample. He went 4/5, but only threw for 10 yards.

Both teams are prepping for what should be another exciting football year for both towns. Dalton had his first year as a quarterback last season and guided the Bengals back to the postseason. 

The Falcons dominated last year but were bounced by the New York Giants in the first round of the playoffs.
