Any good feelings about the direction of the franchise ground to a halt against the Ravens.
The Bengals shocked the Steelers on Monday Night Football, winning with Ryan Finley.
They followed it up with a win at Houston on the back of Brandon Allen’s 371-yard performance.
But the Bengals were flat out embarrassed this week by the Ravens.
It was unlikely to see lightning strike twice, but nearly impossible to see it strike a third time. That said, the way they lost was far worse than the actual loss itself.
