Dalton completed 29 of 41 passes for 269 yards with a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 28-14 loss at Dallas. He also had six rushes for 34 yards.
The Bengals were shut out for three quarters, so Dalton didn't play as well as his final stat line suggests. He threw multiple touchdowns in a contest for the first time this season, although his yardage has been strong all year, averaging just over 300 yards per game. The Cowboys did a great job containing A.J. Green, who was held to 50 yards on four receptions, but Dalton did manage to get Brandon LaFell involved, hooking up with him eight times for 68 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran QB will need to step up big next week for a road game against the Patriots.
