Players play. And coaches coach. But it is a coach’s job to put the players in a position to win. Bengals’ head coach Zac Taylor has not done that. And he knows it.
“I’ve got to put our guys in a better position,” Taylor said after Sunday’s 19-7 loss to the Dolphins dropped Cincinnati to 2-9-1 on the season. “We have to make plays that are there, but at the same time, I’ve got to be accountable for that and put us in better spots.”
The Bengals battled to a 7-6 halftime lead Sunday and had 171 total yards after managing just 155 total yards last week.
