Just needed a play to be made. But in the land of make believe, maybe the defense held them to 12 points instead of 19 and we won!
Dalton drove us 52 yards in that situation. If the defense had given him the ball on the other teams 45 yard line like they did with Mccarron he may very well have scored a td.
Plus in '12 Dalton was facing the #7 defense in the league while Mccarron was working against the #21 defense.
And the #2 wr on the '12 Bengals was Andrew Hawkins and the TE was Jermain Gesham , while the #2 wr on the '15 team was Marvin Jones and the TE was Tyler Eifert.
But, yeah, McCarron completing one pass proves he was a much more clutch QB than Andy Dalton. Any idea why Mr. Clutch was never able to beat a team that won more than 5 games in '15 while Dalton beat three playoff teams?
