Running back Jeremy Hill stood where he stood in the wee hours of Jan. 11, moments after his fumble re-wrote Bengals history in the play-off loss to the Steelers.
And even though the Bengals’ version of The Fumble is four months old Hill on Monday he acknowledged, “It’s the elephant in the room.”
“You can’t run away from your problems,’ he said. “You can’t run from your shortcomings, you have to tackle them.”
With the Bengals set to return to the practice field a week from Tuesday for the first time since, Hill says he’s surprised there wasn’t more backlash.
