The Cincinnati Bengals are just unable to get out of their own way, and at some point, key leadership like head coach Zac Taylor needs to be held accountable for it.
Taylor did buck the trend of slow starts to begin the season 2-0 this year, only to see Joe Burrow suffer another major injury and lose eight of the next nine. Not that the offense that Taylor calls has been a problem for the most part, but the buck stops with him in terms of on-field performance.
In the wake of the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills in Buffalo, the back-to-back interceptions Burrow threw, combined with the greatness of Josh Allen, had more to do with the defeat than Taylor himself.
