Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton completed 16 of 26 passes for 214 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's win over San Diego.
Dalton enjoyed a second-straight efficient performance on Sunday. Through the first two games of the season, Dalton has completed 68 percent of his passes for 483 yards, five touchdowns and, most importantly, no interceptions, his first back-to-back games without a pick since Week 1 and Week 2 of last year. Dalton may not put up the huge numbers associated with a No. 1 quarterback, but he's showing the kind of reliability valuable for a No. 2 option.
