The 5-5 Bengals have won just one out of their last four games, thanks in part to their defense that is the NFL’s worst in most statistical categories.
To fix that, they fired their defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, head coach Marvin Lewis assumed the defensive responsibilities, and they brought in Hue Jackson to help manage the sideline.
So, even though the Bengals gave up 400 yards, they held the Ravens to just 24 points. But their offense needed a conversion to keep the game in reach. Down 24-21 on their own 37-yard line, the Bengals needed three yards on fourth down.
