Following Sunday’s 20-9 loss to Washington, the Bengals’ record under Zac Taylor dropped to 4-21-1, including no road wins over a two-year span.
It looked like the Bengals had a great chance for that illusive road victory in Washington, as they raced out to a 9-7 lead at halftime.
But then disaster struck, as Joe Burrow suffered a serious knee injury early in the third quarter. It’s reportedly a torn ACL but could have more damage that an MRI will reveal this coming week.
After Burrow exited the game, it was painfully evident that it left the Bengals more deflated than Taylor’s coaching tenure (or a Patriots game ball).
