The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-4. Not a familiar feeling for a team that has made the playoffs five consecutive seasons, won double digits games four straight years and is the defending AFC North champion.
Sitting under .500 for the first time since 2012 , Cincinnati’s coaching staff has been scrutinized the hardest. First-year offensive coordinator Ken Zampese on the team’s efficiency in the red zone, Paul Guenther on the defense yielding 24.2 points per game (20th in the NFL), and, of course, head honcho Marvin Lewis.
