A 300-yard game in Dalton’s career hasn’t been a recipe for disaster, but it’s not a lock for a win, either. The Bengals are 11-7-1 in his 19 300-yard efforts and the higher the number the chances of a win become 50-50. In the six games he’s thrown for at least 366 yards, the Bengals are 3-3 and that’s where the Bengals are Monday. At .500 at 1-1.
Dalton, tied with Anderson for second on the Bengals all-time list for 300-yarders, is on a scorching pace at 5,856 yards. He’d break Peyton Manning’s NFL record of 5,477 yards set in 2013 for the Broncos, a record that probably wouldn’t help the Bengals because of the way they’re set up offensively.
