The Bengals, who have not drafted well defensively the last few seasons, could look a few hours north on I-71 for a lesson on how to improve.

Cincinnati became the first team in at least the last 45 years to take a lead in regulation after trailing by 14-plus points in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter -- and still lose! And they lost in spectacular fashion, surrendering a 58-yard game-winning touchdown from Caleb Williams to rookie Colston Loveland in the final seconds.

Over the last two seasons, the Bengals have scored 38 or more points five times. They’re 1-4 in those games. The other 31 NFL teams combined have scored 38 or more points 68 times. They’re 62-4-2 in those games.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow might have a second career as a Hollywood makeup artist down the line.

The Bengals are known for their patience. Owner and team president Mike Brown isn't going to fire Tobin in the middle of the season. If he did, it would be the shock of the century. The Bengals know they need to play better, but fans shouldn't expect a major change in the middle of the year.

Also, reviewing rarely discussed players, getting Duke Tobin to talk, offensive line optimism and trying to get the organization to change.
