The Cincinnati Bengals are going back to Andy Dalton as their starting quarterback.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that Dalton will start Sunday's game against the New York Jets, taking over for Ryan Finley. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted that Finley's ascent to the starting job was "about evaluation," so it appears Taylor is satisfied knowing Finley is not the franchise's quarterback of the future.
Taylor said Dalton's return is all about getting the win against New York, per Marisa Contipelli:
Dalton, 32, was benched after throwing for 2,252 yards and nine touchdowns against eight interceptions in the Bengals' first eight games.
