ANDY DALTON, Bengals quarterback

Threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns. Yeah ... the Vikings took Ponder ahead of him in 2011. But 31 other teams passed on him as well.

VINCENT RAY, Bengals linebacker

Strip sack set up the Bengals' first touchdown, then he broke the game open with an interception return for a TD.

VONTAZE BURFICT, Bengals linebacker

Sacked Matt Cassel twice and led Cincinnati in tackles.
