Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals collapsed in their season finale as turnovers and missed opportunities led to a 20-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. And with plans to run it back with Zac Taylor, off season decisions are as important as ever - and Joe Burrow made sure everyone knew that in his final press conference of the season. Jake Liscow and James Rapien break down it all down after another brutal loss, highlighting the crucial off season needs and how the Bengals' draft position changed with Week 18 results. Will Bengals management rise to the challenge after a 6-11 finish?
