The pundits had few expectations for the Bengals this season, but it did seem a little harsh at the time.
The Bengals did not make any big splashes in the offseason, but they didn’t suffer any major loses either. In fact adding veterans Cordy Glenn and Preston Brown and drafting Billy Price and Jessie Bates seemed to indicate the team should do a little better in 2018 compared to 2017.
Despite this, it looks like the talking heads were right.
As the season nears its end, the Bengals will need to win two of their last three games to match their 2017 record of 7-9.
