CINCINNATI (AP) -Not only are the Cincinnati Bengals bad, they’re becoming historically bad.
The defending AFC North champions have lost nine in a row, the third time in the last 20 years that they’ve dropped so many consecutive games in one season. No other NFL team has more than two such streaks of futility during that time.
A 34-30 loss to New Orleans on Sunday left the Bengals (2-10) winless since Sept. 26. They play in Pittsburgh next Sunday, when they’ll have a chance to match the franchise record for most consecutive losses in one season.
In the last 20 years, there have been 19 streaks of nine or more losses in the NFL, according to STATS LLC. The Lions, Rams, Colts and Chargers each have had two such streaks during the last two decades.
