Any football team would choose to finish. Hot starts are great, but finishing builds ultimate team confidence. Finishers are never lacking in confidence or doubt themselves.

And the defense only gave up 10 points. Teams coughed up 7.
I'm not knocking Dalton here, I'm just giving the credit to the defense.
I am pleasantly surprised however at how many 4th Q comebacks Dalton has had. I'm glad you pointed that out. That's a bonus for him that I didn't know or expect.

But anyway, the defensive unit made up for that by scoring two of their own TDs. The offense for sure had their problems. Two empty trips to the Red Zone in the 1st half, inexcusable. Reality is, the Bengals should have walked all over Miami by a wide margin. Be things how they were, I'll take the nice recovery and end result.

And it was still just 7-0 until they allowed a punt return TD with 0:40 to go in the 2nd quarter.

I guess it really doesn't matter which minutes you play your BEST football, as long
as you're ahead when it's over.

Every team and I mean EVERY TEAM has down games, halves, quarters, etc. every season. We had a rough first half, that's not important. What is important is they overcame their problems and found a way to win.
The Patriots or whoever else you want to name have an ugly win or two every season ! The competition is to stiff to not to.
Any given Sunday
