CINCINNATI (AP) – Coach Marvin Lewis couldn’t go to sleep until he had a chance to watch video of the Bengals’ latest playoff meltdown. There weren’t a whole lot of answers in the viewing.
A 26-10 loss at Indianapolis on Sunday made it four straight years with first-round losses, an NFL record. No matter what they accomplish during the regular season, the Bengals fritter it away in the playoffs.
Lewis is expected back next season along with quarterback Andy Dalton, who is 0-4 in the postseason. There will be some changes on defense, with linebacker Vontaze Burfict recovering from knee surgery and cornerback Terence Newman considering retirement.
The Bengals also have to overhaul their defensive line.
