Taking a look at one key stat you can see there could be a slight lean in the Bengals direction. Despite that success, Dalton’s biggest critique is his inability to play well in the playoffs or in primetime games. Ed Stinson could play a bigger role. It would be surprising to see the Bengals try blitzes, stunts and other games to confuse the two of them. They are now ranked 32nd in total offense which is dead last in the league.

Andy Dalton had one designed carry, and three scrambles. In 9 games he threw for an impressive 2753 yards, but he also threw 13 touchdowns against 16 interceptions. That avenue won’t offer them any home games, but they’ve already shown that “the 12th man” hasn’t been quite as valuable a teammate as he was in previous seasons.
