Many Cincinnati Bengals fans have wanted to see a change at head coach for quite some time, and Zac Taylor didn't help his case even with his most ardent supporters in Week 12.
The Bengals couldn't produce enough on offense to reward their defense for what had to be their best all-around effort of the season. It resulted in a 26-20 loss to the New England Patriots at Paycor Stadium, putting Taylor's record at 3-8 for the 2025 campaign.
Joe Flacco deserves blame for the pick-six that accounted for one of the Pats' TDs. However, Taylor's strategic blunder very well might've cost Cincinnati a victory.
