Andy Dalton had one of the roughest starts to a season for a veteran quarterback in a long time. Technically speaking, he has the worst single game by a player at his position in twelve years.
Dalton, who tosses four picks, zero touchdowns, while only completing 51.6% of his passes, finished the game with a 28.4 passer rating. Dalton managed a 0.6 QBR (total quarterback rating) the lowest ever since ESPN instituted the metric to rank a quarterback’s overall performance in 2011.
Just heard on @MikeAndMike that Andy Dalton had a QBR of .6, which is lowest by any QB w/ at least 30 attempts since they started tracking

While Dalton is of course at blame, the Ravens defense is projected to be tops in the league this season, and they showed why Sunday.
