The Cincinnati Bengals couldn't have looked much worse on defense in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears, and multiple defensive players reportedly gave the media the cold shoulder afterwards.
So not only is the defense unserious on the field. Some of their core players are unserious away from it in terms of talking about what went wrong. Fans deserve an explanation for such poor buy-in to defensive coordinator Al Golden's system, and the general ghastly performance of the unit.
Meanwhile, offensive stars like running back Chase Brown are left to pick up the pieces, wondering how they could've put up 38 points and 35 points (not including Charlie Jones' opening kickoff return TD) the past two weeks and lost twice.
