The last time it was this obvious that the Cincinnati Bengals hit on their first and second-round draft picks, the team was 4-2 through six games. The players in question played quarterback and wide receiver, and their Week 6 opponent that year was none other than the Indianapolis Colts.
That was all the way back in 2011, and the Bengals beat the Colts during that week nearly a decade ago. Dalton and his partner in crime A.J. Green took the league by surprise as rookies that year, and while Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins are doing their best to do the same, they simply don’t have the record to validate it.
