Bengals finally win a game against a premier opponent on a big stage. If Dalton can get his act together, this team could make some noise in the playoffs. Running game was very effective again and the defense played lights out in the first half. Manning intercepted four times. Dre Kirkpatrick seals the win with two picks including a pick 6.

I don't get this whole "The Bengals do not win on the Big Stage" deal. Under Dalton, the Bengals are 3-6 in Playoff and Prime Time games (Night Games). That's a .333 winning percentage, which is poor but it's not like it was .000. The media even made the fans believe that Dalton had never won a prime time game.

As for making noise in the Playoffs, it has nothing to do with Dalton and ALL to do with the Bengals racking up over 200 yards rushing like they have done in 5 of their last 6 wins! The running game has been more than "very effective", it has been downright dominant!
