As a head coach in the National Football League, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has never before had to prepare to face a Cincinnati Bengals team that was not instructed by Marvin Lewis. In fact, there are probably only a couple of coaches who could say otherwise prior to the 2019 season.
But this is a new era in Cincinnati. The Bengals parted ways with their long-time head coach, going in a completely different direction with first-year Zac Taylor, who comes from an offensive background. Although it’s yielded the same results so far, with their team off to an 0-3 start—not that the Steelers can talk, since they’re in the same boat.
