Other performances of note, real-talk edition:

-Andy Dalton graded better than he looked (-0.7)

-A.J. Green's receiving grade (-1.4) was a career low

-Jermaine Gresham (-0.6) hasn't graded positively since the first week of the season, and is negative overall in all phases of his game (receiving, pass block, run block)

-Reggie Nelson's grade was by far his worst so far this season (previous low: -0.2)

-Terence Newman graded +4.5 in pass coverage over the first four games of the season, and is -3.0 since (though his run defense is +2.1 during the same period)

-Eager to see PFF's ReFocused game write-up in hopes that it will explain Vontaze Burfict's low grade...
