CINCINNATI (AP) – Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes and played lead blocker in a near-perfect performance that kept the Bengals unbeaten.

Dalton connected with tight end Tyler Eifert for three scores and played the role of blocker on Mohamed Sanu’s reverse for a touchdown, setting up Cincinnati’s 31-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.

The Bengals improved to 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, their longest winning streak within a season.

Coming off an emotional 16-10 victory in Pittsburgh on Sunday that gave them control of the AFC North, the Bengals dominated the Browns (2-7) and Johnny Manziel in the second half.

Manziel had some of his best moments in the opening half, which ended with Cincinnati up only 14-10. In the second half, the Browns managed only 32 yards and two first downs.
