The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-3 and missed an opportunity to take the lead in the AFC North after losing to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.
And while there’s still time for the Bengals to figure things out, there’s no sugarcoating what the Bengals are right now.
“We are what our record says we are,” Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said on Monday. “We're a 2-3 football team that's not produced and played on offense as good as we're capable of.”
He’s right.
The Bengals entered the season with their head coach and offensive coordinator back, their franchise quarterback coming off an MVP-caliber season and every starter at their skill positions returning.
