Bengals should be ashamed of how they handled ugly injury to key player

The Cincinnati Bengals are self-destructing amid a three-game losing streak enough as it is, but when you can't protect an important player to your future, it only makes things worse.

In the midst of a meaningless sequence of plays during the Bengals' 37-24 Week 5 loss to the Detroit Lions, they saw one of their starters and earlier rookie draft picks get injured. Rather than remove him from the field, they continued to stick him out there, pretty much on one leg.

My question is: For who? For what? It's a terrible look for an organization that seems magnetized to such PR aesthetics.
