I’m going to be the first to say the Bengals gave that game away. Dalton made some bad throws but he also made some good throws his receivers let him down in a big way. Sanu dropped a ball that turned into an interception late in the 4th quarter which could’ve been a sealing drive.
The Bengals loss on a safety in overtime, on the play Cameron Wake came up the middle like a bat out of hell, it was like he was moving at lighting speed. Dalton had Marvin Jones wide open on the drag route as soon as he snapped the ball because the corner fell down, he had a great shot at the first down but at worse you don’t lose on a safety. I won’t put this fully on Dalton because it should’ve even went to overtime, but when all else fails hit your hot route.
With the Bengals losing 20-22, they also lost one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL Geno Atkins for the season with a torn ACL. Get healthy big dog, I’m happy Geno got paid before the injury because we all know how the NFL will do you.
The Bengals are still in a good position but with a lot more division games coming up they can’t hand away the games they have in the bag.
