The Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback suffered flu like symptoms extreme enough to keep him out of practice Wednesday and force Dalton to make a trip to the Hospital. Today as the Bengals play in their first play-off game in years, Dalton will face another rookie quarterback TJ Yates making this the first time two rookie quarterbacks faced each other in a play-off game.
Houston head coach Gary Kubiak has had Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis’s number so far in the match ups between the two teams. Kubiak is 3-0 against the Bengals. Today we will see if Dalton can continue the magic he brought to the Bengals this season. The Bengals were picked by many to have one of their worse seasons coming into the year. People didn’t figure on the magic Dalton has found in the weapons the Bengals came into the season with. Guys like W.R. AJ Green have certainly contributed to the Bengals story book season.
Today when Dalton and the Bengals play the Texans, it is sure to be a battle. The last...

Watt’s interception and 29-yard touchdown return with 59 seconds left in the half was the difference after 30 minutes. It’s Texans 17, Bengals 10 from Reliant Stadium.
