Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton struggled to get going yet again in Week 11 against the Browns, but he took advantage of some short fields and tossed three touchdowns in a 41-20 win.
Dalton completed just 13 of 27 passes for 93 yards, his lowest total in any game where he attempted at least 20 passes. Fortunately, the Bengals defense gave him plenty of help, as two of his drives that ended with touchdowns began in Browns territory.
He threw touchdown passes of 25, 6 and 2 yards in the game, his fifth game with multiple touchdowns in the last six. He was also picked off twice, bringing his total to eight over the last three games.
Dalton has been extremely hit-or-miss this season, and Sunday's game was a perfect microcosm of his season. The Bengals bye week comes at a good time for Dalton, who needs to figure out his accuracy issues while the Bengals are off in Week 12. They come back in Week 13 with a trip to San Diego.
