Bengals fire DC Teryl Austin

CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals have fired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, a source told ESPN's Josina Anderson, hours after they allowed 51 points in a loss to the Saints.

Austin was in his first season as Bengals defensive coordinator, and the unit looked shockingly bad at times. Not only did they fall to last in almost every defensive category, but they're also approaching historically bad levels.
