Andy Dalton will start at quarterback for the New Orleans Saints this week against the Las Vegas Raiders, coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday, calling it “an offensive decision.”
Allen noted that Jameis Winston is healthy and “we’re going to continue with Andy.”
He said Dalton will remain in the starting role for the Saints (2-5) as long as he’s playing well.
Allen said there was “no need to upset the apple cart” regarding changing quarterbacks.
Dalton started the past four games for the Saints as Winston was recovering from lingering back and ankle injuries. He threw for 946 yards with 7 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in those four games, as New Orleans went 1-3.
