’ connections to New Orleans and the Saints is almost endless.
Whether it is the big-name LSU players like quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase or just straight up being from the Saints like safety Vonn Bell and Trey Hendrickson, it will be quite the homecoming for these Bengals.
They will get quite the welcome as quarterback Andy Dalton will be starting since Jameis Winston won’t be able to go. Dalton spent his first nine seasons in Cincinnati and sits at or near the top of many franchise records. What is kind of funny is the Bengals have not gone a season without playing Dalton since releasing him in favor of Burrow.
