When Dalton looks competent running with the football, as opposed to many of his awkward quarterback colleagues across the league, you get reminded that he is more athletic than you think he is. He is sneaky athletic.

Dalton did not necessarily run for a lot of yards on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, but he ran for key yards. He ran for 14 yards on six carries, but more importantly, he came through with two one-yard touchdowns. The first opened the scoring, and the second was the winning play as the Bengals won 27-24.
