Andy Dalton was historically bad on Thursday night against the Browns. How bad was he?
Dalton's 2.0 QB rating was lower — significantly lower — than the average price per gallon for gas in all 50 states. The closest? South Carolina at $2.69. In fact, Dalton's QB rating was so low, it dipped below the national average per gallon to a level that hasn't been seen since mid-2009.

He was really bad. That's 10-for-33, 86 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions. He would've been better off spiking the ball on every play.
Had Andy Dalton thrown every pass directly into the ground last night, his passer rating would have been 39.6. His passer rating was 2.0
