With about six minutes left in the third quarter on Monday, Andy Dalton helped himself up from sack No. 5 of the night and walked towards the Bengals’ sideline. The failed third-and-20 play forced the offense, who had just three points to their name, to punt for the fifth time of the game.
Dalton approached the bench on the sideline and threw his helmet at the ground, proceeding to sit down in disgust. At this moment, the game was all but over; and the ninth-year quarterback may’ve finally reached a tipping point.
