Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was ruled out for the remainder of the team's matchup against the Cleveland Browns with a thumb injury.
The announcement came with the Bengals trailing 35-14 in the fourth quarter.
Dalton, 31, has seen his last three seasons end in disappointment. He had his most efficient season in 2015, completing a career-high 66.1 percent of his passes while throwing just seven interceptions in 13 games. In total, he threw for 3,250 yards and 25 touchdowns while leading the Bengals to a 12-4 record and an AFC North title.
