Those expecting the Cincinnati Bengals to make big roster moves or coaching changes after what was effectively a season-ending loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to wait. But the Bengals did make roster moves on the day after the loss.

“He’s definitely finding his rhythm,” Akeem Davis-Gaither said. “He knows where he wants to go with the ball and he’s not going to force errors. If his first read or second read is not there, he’s giving the ball to the running back shakedown and we just needed to eliminate those shakedowns and not let those be 17 yards a pop."

On the surface, it’s easy to dilute enthusiasm after the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 44-38 win in Cincinnati on Sunday. After all, it came against the meager four-win Bengals and their historically bad defense.
