The Cincinnati Bengals' 0-4 start to the 2019 NFL season feels as bad as it has looked.
"To be quite honest, it starts with me," first-year head coach Zac Taylor told reporters following the Bengals' 27-3 loss Monday night to the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I gotta make sure the standard is higher than what it is right now because I haven't done a good enough job. ... We feel awful right now."
Taylor was hired as the Bengals head coach in February after previously serving as the quarterbacks coach last season for the high-flying Los Angeles Rams, so expectations were high that he could breathe life into a franchise that had been led by Marvin Lewis since 2003 and hasn't won a postseason game since 1990.
