Here’s some breaking news: head coach Dennis Allen says the New Orleans Saints will start Andy Dalton again at quarterback in Week 8’s game with the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen adds that Winston is “back healthy” but there was “no need to upset the apple cart” in making another change under center.
Dalton went 1-3 during his first four starts in relief of Winston, who led the team during its 1-2 start to the season before the Saints put him on ice with back and ankle injuries. Both of them have committed turnovers at a worrying pace, but Dalton has done a better job avoiding sacks and weaponizing pass-catchers like Alvin Kamara. Hopefully it will begin to make a difference.
