Any moments from this season that stood out? Can be anything from a certain play to an achievement to anything, good or bad. Just something that can stick around in Bengal lore for centuries to come.

We had a historically bad defense and in particular got beat bad in primetime by the Chiefs then a couple weeks later the Saints crushed us. That got our DC Austin fired.

I thought Fejedelem's TD return week 1 to seal the rally win was a good one.

1) Fej fumble return to seal the deal against the Colts
2) Green reception in the end zone to seal the Falcons game
3) Joe Mixon: just in general. A great year rushing behind this o-line. Dude is talented and arguably our MVP on the offensive side of the ball.

The two late defensive scores against Miami was the high point of the season.

Tyler Eifert breaking his Ankle against Atlanta thought that ended our season.

In a bad way: the cover zero play against in the Steelers first game. I think that play was the tipping point of the season. After that things just spiraled out of control.
Positive would be the first half of Ravens part 1. But the second half also stood out in a bad way.

AJ’s 3 TD game against the Ravens in prime time was pretty cool.

The presser when Merv was re-signed , he said Mikey wants to win and they were going to be more aggressive in free agency. Nowhere to go but down after that

I don't even remember when exactly Austin got the boot, but somewhere in my mind his hiring was where everything went to shit. It took a little while, but Marvin was at least able to settle down the historically bad defense . Suppose that we had never hired Austin and instead brought in a great defensive mind and further suppose that we hadn't had so many injuries that just about wiped out our offense.. Looking at the record of the rest of the AFCN we might have won this division.. Oh well. We didn't and we did sustain too many injuries to overcome.
I'm betting Marvin will be back and next year's DC will be yet another 27 year old diehard battery found in an abandoned junk yard...again .

Bad. Hue goes 3-36-1 with Cleveland, we hire him as special assistant and go 1-6.

The defensive turnovers in Miami, had all of us thinking Austin might be on to something there for a minute. Boy did he dispell that notion in spectacular fashion.
