Bengals 10, Texans 31
Recapping my 4 Downs for the Bengals/Texans game:
- 1st Down: Andy Dalton vs. T.J. Yates? Well Dalton went 27/42 for 257 and 3 INT's (will discuss in 3rd down) while Yates threw for 11/20, 159 and a TD. Advantage: Yates
- 2nd Down: Running Game: Arian Foster had 24 carries for 153 and 2 TD's. Cedric Benson did have a TD, but wasn't heard of much after that, finishing with 7 carries for 14 yards. As a team the Texans ran for 188 yards vs the Bengals running for 76. Advantage: Clearly the Texans
- 3rd Down: Defensive Turnovers: 3-0. Lets just say the team with the 0 turnovers won the game. The 3 INT's that Dalton threw where costly, including on that was went for a pick-6. However the Bengals Chris Crocker had an golden opportunity to get a pick-6 from Yates but dropped the ball. Later on in that series, Yates threw a TD to Johnson. Advantage: Texans
- 4th Down: Playoff Pressure: Early on, the pressure seem to have hit both QB's. However, Dalton seem to have been affected by it the most. However, I won't chastise the QB's on this one, Imma go to the coaches and Gary Kubiak seem to handle the pressure fine, but Marvin Lewis seem to have choked up on a few challenge calls. Bengals had two challenges early in the game that should of not been made, thus losing their challenges early. Advantage: Texans for handling the pressure better.
