CINCINNATI -- Lou Anarumo doesn’t know exactly what was said.
But the message from the Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator at halftime of the team’s Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a familiar one. Even though the favored Bengals found themselves staring at a 17-3 deficit, he urged patience that the unit’s fortunes were going to turn around.
“That's about the only thing I remember to be honest,” Anarumo recalled four weeks later.
