They were behind all game, nearly made a comeback, but blew it in the end.
All five of the Bengals’ losses have been heartbreaking, either because it was such a bad beatdown or because they elevated our hopes, only to dash them on the ground moments later.
This one against the Cardinals seemed like the worst one. A winless team with a first team head coach and rookie quarterback seems like one of the few games the Bengals actually had a chance to win. But they looked so bad for most of the game, they ended up losing 26-23.
