Andy Dalton stepped up in a big way on Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback went from zero to hero, completing 17 of 18 first-half passes in route to a 31-7 blowout. He threw for 286 yards and four touchdowns in all, crushing the winless Browns.

Pro Football Focus, expectedly, graded Dalton very well.
