From the article

Andy Dalton, who got the start, was victimized by a couple drops, including one by the normally reliable Darius Cooper that would have been a first down... Dalton was 3-for-6 for 20 yards... I still think the 26-year-old McKee makes more sense as a No. 2 than the 38-year-old Dalton.

Dalton's 3-for-6, 20-yard night hurt by drops; McKee favored for No. 2 QB role.

In the No. 2 QB competition, Dalton was victimized by drops including one by normally reliable Darius Cooper that would have been a first down. He completed 3-of-6 for 20 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The source notes that while the stats are difficult to parse from a preseason game, the 38-year-old Dalton appears less likely than 26-year-old Tanner McKee to win the backup job behind Jalen Hurts.
