Giant microcosm

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. _ The frustration is now seeping in after the Bengals’ 21-20 loss Monday night to the Giants at MetLife Stadium proved to be a microcosm of their season rather than a kick start.

At 3-5-1 they are still within a game-and-a-half of the first place Ravens in the AFC North, but they are two games under .500 at the latest point in the six seasons of the A.J. Green-Andy Dalton Era and in the throes of their longest road losing streak (four) since the 4-12 season of 2010, the last time they didn’t go to the playoffs.
