Bengals Fire Defensive Coordinator
6 years agoThe Cincinnati Bengals fired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin on Monday, according to a source. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that head coach Marvin Lewis will take over the defensive play-calling duties moving forward. It was Austin's first year with Cincy. The Bengals allowed 51 points to the Saints on Sunday, which was the most points allowed for a Bengals team since Week 2 of 2007. They have given up 45, 34 and 51 points in their last three games. They have been hit hard by injuries this year, which has contributed to their ineffectiveness. Baltimore is a much easier opponent in Week 11, but the Bengals defense/special teams should obviously be ignored in fantasy.
