The Bengals are horrendous in Primetime games with Andy Dalton at QB
On Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights they are 2-6, which is horrible for a team that has finished with a winning record over the past 3 years winning at least nine games. Since Andy Dalton has taken over he has been crushed on Primetime games.
Dalton has bombed three playoff games and is 2-9 in games where the spotlight shines. One player feels the team is just afraid of the dark.
“I have no idea,” defensive end Wallace Gilberry said Thursday of why they struggle in night games, per ESPN.com. “I guess we’re afraid of the dark.”
I do not know if they are afraid of the dark or not, but this year in their two prime-time games they have choked. A 43-17 Sunday night thumping from the Patriots and a 24-3 home blowout loss to the Browns. If Dalton wants the playoffs this year, they need this game.
