CINCINNATI -- The disappointment was discernible in coach Zac Taylor's voice in the minutes following the Cincinnati Bengals' final game of the season on Sunday.
Taylor was speaking on the heels of a 38-3 drubbing against the Baltimore Ravens in which the Ravens rushed for 404 yards, the most allowed by Cincinnati in franchise history. It capped a 4-11-1 season that featured several key injuries, some close losses and moments of optimism that were all too fleeting.
