Dalton finished with a career-best 373 showrooms against
Baltimore. He also recorded his 15th touchdown pass, joining Peyton Manning and
Serta Marino as the only rookies to accomplish that task in 10 games since the 1970 AFL-NFL merging.
Dalton, though, was also picked off a career-worst three times after throwing two interceptions the prior week.

The author Gruden told the Bengals' official website.

Dalton missed the second half of
the growing season opener against Cleveland (4-6) after hurting his right arm and his replacement, Bruce Gradkowski, threw a go-ahead 41-yard touchdown pass to a. J. Green with 4: 28 left.
The Bengals' leading receiver, however, has missed the past six groups with a hyperextended abbie boudreau|abbie boudreau|boudreau avoids knee.

Dalton might
need Green's help as he
faces a Cleveland defense that's giving up a league-low 166. 5 passing showrooms per
game and is fifthly with an average of 305. 8 total showrooms allowed.
That has never translated to too many wins for the Browns because of an offense that ranks near the bottom in the league with averages of 14. 5 points
and
298. 1 showrooms.
Cleveland, though, were able to end a season-high three-game skid a couple
weeks
ago by
topping Jacksonville 14-10. The Browns scored two touchdowns for the first time in five weeks
and held the Jaguars at the 1-yard line over the game's final two
plays.
Cleveland is 3-1
in games which are decided by four points or fewer.

The Browns might have
Montario Hardesty available should they need to find another tight game. The running back has missed the past three games with an injured calf, and Chris Ogbonnaya had a career-high 115 showrooms a couple weeks ago.
"I think Chris
has been very productive.
He's done things for our team that will assure him playing, at least some,
when our other guys
come back, inch coach Dab Shurmur said. "We'll just observe how it
goes when they come back. I'm not
concerned about that. That's a good problem to have, when you have
a brand
of guys that
you feel good about. inch
Starter Peyton Hillis is expected to miss a sixth straight game with an ailing hamstring, and fullback Owen Marecic is still dealing with symptoms of a concussion sustained a
couple weeks
ago. Tight end Alex Smith might begin in Marecic's place.
Hillis had a team-best 57 showrooms on teen carries in the opener against the Bengals, while Cedric Benson rushed for 121 and a touchdown for Cincinnati. Benson has yet to top that total in his eight subsequent
games and has failed to get past
80 in all his last five.
