Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton won the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Month for October, in which the Cincinnati Bengals went an undefeated 4-0. He's only the third Bengals rookie to win the player of the month award, following running back Corey Dillon (December, '97) and linebacker Odell Thurman (September, '05).

Dalton completed 63.1% of his passes for the month of October (82 of 130) for 909 yards passing, six touchdowns and a passer rating of 83.1. By comparison Carolina Panthers rookie Cam Newton completed 61.2% of his passes (104 of 170) for the month for 1,381 yards passing with 12 touchdowns (seven passing, five rushing) and a passer rating of 88.4. The big difference is Carolina went 1-4 in October.

When asked about it, Dalton said that while it's an honor, he didn't do it by himself. And presumably the award will find a destination inside a box at home.

The guy keeps proving he's a winner...

Let’s hope he can continue playing at a high level as we begin the tough part of the schedule.

Well done Andy!

He really looks like the Franchise QB we need

Im praying that he doesn’t Kimo von Oelhoffened(hit in the legs after he throw the ball 2 seconds before) any time for at least the next 12 years.
