Dalton has been sacked 17 times in five games,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, tied for second most in the NFL. Indianapolis has allowed 20 sacks.
"You've seen teams win Super Bowls with makeshift offensive lines and figure out ways to get it done," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "The reality is it's not just us, but we're a big component of it."

"I can remember all the way back to my second or third year when we played them," Whitworth said. "We prepared for them to be one thing the entire week and the first snap they were, the next 68 snaps they weren't. I was just in shock. Never really seen that before. They have a great ability to do that."

Dalton has been sacked once every 12 pass attempts this season, which would be the worst rate of his career if it holds for a season. He was sacked a career-high 46 times in his second season of 2012. His best showing was 2014, when he went nearly 24 attempts between sacks.
The Cowboys got consistent pressure on Dalton last Sunday without blitzing much during a 28-14 win, which was surprising given the depth of experience on the offensive line. The Bengals fell to 2-3 for the first time in six years, and the sacks are one of the most glaring issues.
