Wasn't that the Eagles or was it when he was with Washington?
Last time we played them (2016) we jumped out to a 29-0 lead and coasted to a 32-14 win. Dalton had 332 yards and a 130.0 passer rating. Wentz threw 3 picks and had a 58.2 rating.
The game before that (2012) we blew them out 34-13. BJGE had 134 yards from scrimmage. Eagles QB Nick Foles had only 180 passing yards and a 62.7 passer rating.
The game before that (2008) an Eagles team that would go to the NFC Championship game could not beat a Bengal team led by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Houshmandzadeh had 12 catches for 149 yards and Donovan McNabb had a 3 picks and a 50.9 passer rating in a 13-13 tie.
The game before that we blew them out 38-10. Eagles QBs Jeff Blake and Koy Detmer combined to throw 3 picks and post a 55.1 passer rating. Rudi Johnson had 124 yards from scrimmage and scored 3 tds.
Only 3 times in the entire history of the series has an Eagle QB had a passer rating higher than 70 (min 15 attempts). In 1997 Eagles QB Bobby Hoying threw 4 tds against the Bengals and still lost (42-44). In the other 12 games the Eagles have thrown 21 interceptions and only 11 tds.
