The Arizona Cardinals don’t play the Carolina Panthers until Week 15, but the Panthers have made a quarterback decision that could cause some excitement among Cardinals fans.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales has benched second-year quarterback Bryce Young and will start Andy Dalton in Week 3.

A lot can happen between now and Week 15, but it’s an exciting opportunity for the Cardinals to face Dalton again.

Why is it fun?

That’s because the Cardinals just ate Dalton alive. They had a break in 2023, but Dalton started four years in a row on four different teams against them and the Cardinals beat him every time.

Dalton hasn’t beaten the Cardinals since 2011, his rookie season with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cardinals beat him in 2019 when he was a starter for the Bengals. They beat him in 2020 when he started for the Dallas Cowboys, replacing the injured Dak Prescott. They beat him in 2021 when he started in place of the injured Justin Field. And they beat him in 2022 when he started for the Saints in place of the injured Jameis Winston.

If Dalton is still competing in December, can they get five wins over Dalton in six years with five different teams?
