The Bengals and Lions are set up for a rare meeting. The last time the two teams played A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson had a classic wide receiver battle. Marvin Jones Jr. was still playing for the Bengals instead of the Lions. Those days seem pretty far away now.
The Bengals secured their second straight losing season last week when they got destroyed by the Vikings. It was the second week in a row the Bengals were blown out by an opponent. It didn’t help that reports that Marvin Lewis wouldn’t be returning next season surfaced before the game.
