I heard this on the radio the other night, it might not be exact but it's close.

The Bengals are 0-4 when Dalton has 50+ pass attempts. We're 2-10-1 when Dalton has 40+ pass attempts. We have to keep Dalton's attempts in the 25-35 range or we'll lose this game and continue to lose all season if we keep him in the 40 attempts and above area.

We can't go on getting 40 yards a game from the RB's, Miller will have a field day if we can't run !

I wonder if Marv knows those stats.

We need to run right at Miller and keep running right at him. That's an excellent way to negate a pass rusher, make him defend the run and get him back on his heals.

Of course, our OL will need to block and not miss their assignments to make this work. I guess there's always a first time for anything.
