NFL Scores Week 9, Bengals Vs. Titans: Andy Dalton Leads Cincinnati To Sixth Win, 24-17

Andy Dalton just keeps winning. The rookie led another Cincinnati comeback that boosted the Bengals to their sixth victory of 2011.

Andy Dalton's rookie season hasn't been spectacular, statistically. But he's leading one of the NFL's best teams, and got another comeback win in Week 9 in Cincinnati's 24-17 triumph over the Titans.

Dalton led the Bengals to a 10-point fourth quarter, and helped Cincy overcome a 17-7 halftime deficit by throwing for 217 yards and three touchdowns. Cedric Benson ran for 78 yards to pace the Bengals' running game, and A.J. Green snared seven passes for 83 yards.

The Titans' collapse squandered one of Chris Johnson's better games of the 2011 season. The former NFL rushing yards leader ran for 64 yards in the loss. Matt Hasselbeck threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns for Tennessee.

Cincinnati improved to 6-2 on the year with the win, while Tennessee fell to 4-4 with the loss.
