The Cincinnati Bengals have pulled the plug on the brief Ryan Finley experiment.
Monday, the team announced veteran Andy Dalton will slot back into the starting role in the wake of Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sunday was Finley’s third start of his career after joining the team via the fourth round. He completed just 12 of his 26 attempts with a touchdown and two fumbles.
A new Bengals coach staff benched Dalton after eight games in order to evaluate for the future while attempting to spark a win.
Over eight games, Dalton has completed 60.4 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions.
