Top 5 Grades:
DI Geno Atkins, 93.4 overall grade

ED Jordan Willis, 78.8 overall grade
QB Andy Dalton, 78.0 overall grade
QB Andy Dalton, 78.0 overall grade
A decisively average performance from the Bengals veteran quarterback. The Bengals had a fairly conservative game plan on offense Thursday night and with the exception of a handful of deep balls, Dalton wasn’t asked to push the envelope. He finished the game with a 76.4 passer rating but when you only look at his accurate, aimed passes (he threw the ball away five times and had another pass batted down at the line of scrimmage and had another one dropped) his adjusted completion percentage was 72.4.
HB Joe Mixon, 77.3 overall grade
While it certainly wasn’t a breakout game for the rookie out of Oklahoma, Mixon did earn a higher overall grade than his backfield peers, Jeremy Hill (73.3) and Giovani Bernard (50.3). Mixon earned 26 of his 36 yards after contact, while his 4.0 yards per carry was at least a whole yard greater than both Hill (2.8) and Bernard’s (2.0) averages. Mixon showed good patience, allowing holes to open up on zone runs and he showed good burst to the outside when he needed to beat someone to the edge.
