›› Bengals rookie loses teeth vs. Browns
“I feel like I got into a good rhythm and was seeing things well,” Dalton said. “I was able to get the ball to different guys, and felt like I was in a good rhythm today.”
Dalton completed 19 of his first 20 passes, including 16 in a row at point. The only other time a Bengals quarterback completed 16 consecutive passes in a game was Ken Anderson’s 20 in a row in a playoff game against the Jets on Jan. 2, 1983.

Dalton’s only incompletion of the first half came when he overthrew running back Giovani Bernard on a screen.
The Bengals went back to the play in the closing minutes of the first half, and Bernard turned it into a 61-yard touchdown for a 21-0 lead.

“It’s one of those things, when you get the opportunities to have a call like that, you want to make the play,” Dalton said. “Our guys did a good job.
“There’s a lot of season left,” he added. “You can’t get two wins before you get one. It’s a good start for us and we have to carry it into next week and use it as momentum.”
