Going on road may have been best thing for Bengals
Winning on the road in the NFL can be difficult, and Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday he would prefer his team play all 16 of its games at home, but perhaps one of the main things that has turned the team's season back in the right direction following the 24-3 home loss to Cleveland on Nov. 6 was going on the road for a lengthy period of time.
