You did it Bengals fans. You. Did. It. After being nominated earlier this week, Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton was named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for Week nine. This was Dalton's fourth nomination this year, finally winning it after completing 22 of 39 passes for 217 yards passing and three touchdowns during Cincinnati's week nine 24-17 win over the Tennessee Titans.
