Not much has gone right for the Cincinnati Bengals this season, at least not after getting out to a 4-1 start and looking as though they would be turning things around after hitting the skids for a couple of years. They got off to that early record largely without one of their key defensive players, captain Vontaze Burfict, who served a suspension.
But from the time that he played the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week Six and suffered a shoulder injury until now, he hasn’t spent a whole lot of time on the field.
