While Jameis Winston opened the season as the New Orleans Saints starting quarterback, injuries caused former Cincinnati Bengals starter Andy Dalton into the top job in New Orleans, and he’s held onto it. Dalton has a lot of familiarity going up against the Steelers from his time in Cincinnati, but not necessarily this iteration of the Pittsburgh defense. During his press conference earlier today, Dalton praised outside linebacker T.J. Watt and Pittsburgh’s back end.
“I think that he’s not only the best player on their defense but one of the best players in the league. For us, we just have to understand where he is and we can’t let him disrupt the game,” Dalton said about Watt via Saints.
