Reedy: Bye keeps Bengals' offense under scrutiny

NFL Division Power Rankings: NFC North tumbles after 1-3 week
4. AFC North: Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton did something really weird on Sunday: he threw three touchdown passes without throwing for 100 yards. How weird is that? It's so weird that it's only been done two other times since 1980. Former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer did it in a 2003 win over the Chargers. Plummer threw three touchdown passes, but only threw for 94 yards. Former Raiders quarterback Jay Schroeder also did it. In 1992, Schroeder threw for 93 yards and three touchdowns in a 28-7 win over Kansas City. Dalton's 93-yard, three touchdown performance was so bad it was good, Bengals fans can't even be mad. It was like when Baxter ate the whole wheel of cheese. There was no way Ron Burgundy could be mad at that. Last week's ranking: 4. (7-4 vs. AFC East, 0-3 vs. AFC West, 1-1 vs. AFC South, 4-7 vs. NFC North)
