When the Bengals take the field Sunday there are 3 passing records and one receiving record that are within reach for the Bengals to break.
Andy Dalton will probably set the franchise passing record as he currently holds 4015 passing yds on the season. 117 more yards passes the mark set by Carson Palmer in 2007. 117 yards passing in a game where the starters are expected to play the whole game is easily within reach.
Dalton may be looking for more though. He has topped the 300 yd passing mark 5 times this season. One more and he passes Boomer Esiason whom he is currently tied with.
Dalton is also only 1 touchdown pass shy from tying Palmer's 2005 touchdown record of 31. A 2 touchdown pass day at home is also well within Andy's reach.
In the receiving game, A.J. Green is 76 yds shy of breaking Chad Johnson's 2007 record of receiving yds in a season. Currently at 1365 Green has a great shot of obtaining that record.
2005 is a measuring stick year for the Bengals. Many fans believe that if the injuries to Carson Palmer and Chris Henry had not happened, the Bengals had a talented enough team to play deep into the post season. The mere fact that Dalton and Green are on pace to beat the numbers from that year show what kind of team the Bengals currently boast.
