12 players on Injured Reserve is all Mike Brown needs to keep Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati

What do these Bengals players have in common? Their seasons are all over due to injury.

Starting quarterback Andy Dalton joined that list on Monday following a thumb injury in the Bengals’ loss to the Browns.

If you thought there was any chance Marvin Lewis would be fired at the end of this season, you’ll need to think again.

This many injuries is exactly what Mike Brown needed to excuse Lewis for the Bengals’ roller coaster of a season and let him (at least) coach through his current contract, which ends at the end of the 2019 NFL season.
