It’s not even prime time, or a playoff game.

But Andy Dalton sure is playing that way.

The Bengals quarterback just threw his third interception of the day, completing an awful half for a team allegedly in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Dalton is 7-of-11 for 62 yards in the first half to go along with the three picks, for a 34.7 passer rating.

Alterraun Verner, Johnthan Banks and Brandon Dixon have done the honors today, keeping the Bucs in a 10-7 lead despite a whopping 135 yards of total offense in the first half.

When Bad Dalton shows up, it’s hard for the Bengals to have a chance, but this is still the Buccaneers they’re playing, so anything’s possible.
