Context, buddy. Context. Look at Dalton's circumstances. Missing the biggest offensive weapon. Got zilch from his RBs, and playing a solid defense with these circumstances.
It takes a great performance (don't forget the 130 passer rating) and elevates it to the amazing category. QBs are not supposed to play like this without their top weapon and no run game.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
