We don’t know if Andy Dalton will be starting against Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but it’s worth noting he’s done it before. The New Orleans Saints backup quarterback has received first-team reps twice this week in relief of Jameis Winston, who has been managing a couple of different injuries. Winston will have one more chance to practice on Friday ahead of kickoff. It’s really tough to see him starting on Sunday without having taken any reps throughout the week.
So what happened the last time Dalton and Cousins squared off in London? They played against each other back in 2016 at Wembley Stadium, with Cousins leading Washington and Dalton quarterbacking the Cincinnati Bengals. And it was a bit of a firefight.
