With Jameis Winston out for the New Orleans Saints, veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is the man under center for the Black and Gold.
Things had been running smoothly under Dalton. The 34-year-old is leading his team to, at least, 25 points in each of his three starts this season, in addition to one touchdown per contest.
Tonight, things aren't going so hot for Dalton, especially in the last two minutes of the first half.
It all started when the Saints set up to run the two-minute drill to close out the half. Dalton threw a shallow pass to Marquez Callaway, who couldn't haul the pass in. Instead, it was intercepted.

This led to a pick-6. It would be the first of two.
Alright, this one really wasn't Dalton's fault. The next one, however, was, and it was quite ugly.
Now with the ball back, Dalton looked for rookie standout Chris Olave on a third- and-10. Unfortunately, he didn't look for Isaiah Simmons.
The first one might not have been Dalton's fault, but the second is one he can't blame on anyone but himself.
After the second pick-6 in under a minute, NFL Twitter went a bit crazy, and many fans were happy to share their opinions. Without question, twitter is the place to go if you're looking to see people roast NFL players after a questionable play or two. Dalton and his pick-6s are no exception.
Others have their own thoughts on Dalton following the Saints' collapse at the end of the half.
Can Andy Dalton redeem himself?
Of course, there's still two quarters left of football to play. There's plenty of time for Dalton to redeem himself and prove to NFL fans he's the same savvy veteran quarterback the Saints' organization believed he was when they signed him.
For now, the Cardinals hold a two-possession lead, thanks to their defensive efforts against New Orleans.
