Some may argue that this started long ago, but defeat would only pile further pressure on the second-longest-tenured head coach in the NFL. You wonder how hot seat really is.
The Bengals have been a good football team for many years, but sometimes, change is good. I feel as though Marvin Lewis has taken this team as far as he can take them, and the same could be said about Andy Dalton. There are similarities between the Cincinnati Bengals and Arsenal Football Club. Inconsistent success is rewarded with new contracts and pay rises.
