I would like to remind you all that the Cincinnati Bengals owned a 4-1 record before they faced the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now they are 5-6. It’s not just because they lost to the Steelers, of course, which has a way of disarming them, but they also suffered a slew of injuries in that game and following.
The latest example is the thumb injury suffered by quarterback Andy Dalton, which has landed him on injured reserve. The move comes just as the Bengals finally get A.J. Green back on the field after missing the past three games.
