The Bengals are back to OK-ness, which is where they’ve belonged all along, anyway. In the last two weeks, they wasted the chances afforded them by home cooking, (reasonably) good health, OK and jet-lagged opponents and the nosedive of the AFC North.
The Men were given a month’s worth of chances Sunday. They muffed them, literally and otherwise. In no particular order:
Jessie Bates’ dropped INT.
Winning the OT coin toss.
Opting not to go for it twice in the 1st half, on 4th-and-1 from the Niners 19 and 4th-and-2 from the Niners 10.
