CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals' fan base made no secret that they were tired of what was happening to the team in the present. Sunday seemed more of a day to look into the future.
Fans made their message loud and clear during the Bengals' final home game of the season. The announced crowd was 44,568, but even less than that showed up to watch the game.
Bengals fan Jeff Wagner, who has been hanging banners at Bengals' games since the 1990s, had apparently given up, too. During the last home game, he hung up a blank banner.
