Seattle Seahawks defense versus the new-and-improved Andy Dalton
Cincinnati Bengals gun-slinging quarterback Andy Dalton has gotten off to a smoking hot start this season, averaging 296.75 passing yards and 2.25 touchdowns per game.
And, very un-Dalton like from seasons past, he only has thrown one interception in his 116 passing attempts. The new-and-improved Dalton and his Bengals will be hosting the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see if the quarterback can continue his elite play.
So far this season, the Seahawks defense has only allowed three passing touchdowns and an average of 203 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks.
However, their secondary has yet to register an interception, and at the rate Dalton is going that stat might not change on Sunday. Furthermore, the Bengals offense as a whole is playing about as razor sharp as it gets and is averaging a league-high 422 yards, along with 30.25 points per game. Meanwhile, Seattle’s stout defense is allowing just 278.8 net yards per game.
We’ll see whether Dalton prevails or Seattle’s secondary gets the upper hand this Sunday.
