Andy Dalton must have felt immense satisfaction after his win on Sunday.
Sunday marked Dalton’s first game in Cincinnati since Week 17, 2019 against the Browns. A Bengals second-round pick in 2011, Dalton earned a 70-61-2 record as a starting QB for Cincy, the second-most wins all-time for the franchise behind Ken Anderson (91). Dalton is also the Bengals’ all-time leader in pass TDs (204).
“This is definitely special for him. Make no bones about it, he wanted to win this game. More importantly, everybody in this locker room wanted to win it for him,” McCarthy said.
