The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is hoping to improve heading into 2013 following a disappointing ending in the playoff loss at Houston. Said Dalton about the growing criticism of his play: “I’m not worried about that. Not that we’re satisfied where we’re at, but we went to the playoffs in my first two years that I was here. That’s something that hasn’t happened in 30 years. To go from 4-12 before I got here to 9-7 and now 10-6, we’re getting better and going to be better next year.” Dalton wants to get better on deep throws. “I still think I can improve on it. If I hit on a couple of those longer throws in a game it changes things. I have to be better in that phase of the game,” Dalton said. “Put it in a spot where they can make a play and do a better job of that.”
