And if Marvin had gone for it and failed there would be a long line of people here calling Marvin stupid for not punting. This game was mnot a shoot out. It was 14-14 in the second half.
The Bengals punted on the Steelers 45, 43, and 40.
It's obvious that Marvin's "field position" battles against the Steelers never work. So. Again. You need to change the formula when you're 8-24. Now 8-25.
Oh, and haven't scored more than 21 points against the Steelers since 2009. Where they scored 23.
The Bengals haven't scored 24+ points against the Steelers since 2006.
The Steelers have scored 24+ against the Bengals 12 out of their last 18 games.
So. Yeah. Maybe TRYING to score more points than a team that routinely scores on you would have been a good idea.
Marvin deserves all the criticism in the world for failing time and time again against the Steelers.
