Joe Mixon, Bengals players on social were happy with move back to Andy Dalton

Joe Mixon and other Bengals players celebrated the move back to Andy Dalton.

The move back to quarterback Andy Dalton sure seems like it was a popular one with some of the notable players in the Cincinnati Bengals locker room.

New head coach Zac Taylor announced the move to Dalton over Ryan Finley at quarterback for Week 13.

Right after, players like Mixon were active on social:

Mixon, along with notables like Tyler Boyd, liked the team’s official announcement on Instagram:

And in the comments here, Mixon wasn’t shy about tagging Dalton personally and asking if he could be the one to catch his record-breaking touchdown pass:

This is all in good fun, of course. The entire locker room was clearly supportive of the rookie Finley and keeps fighting hard for Taylor.

But here, and assuredly in the quotes to follow in the coming days, the rallying around Dalton seems to be a testament to his leadership and personality.

Dalton gets the start against the Jets over the weekend in what looks like it could be one of his last games with the team.
