Following their Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans, the Cincinnati Bengals fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese. He will be replaced with quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor, who has an extensive background as an offensive assistant and even a play-caller, though much of that came in college. Now, Lazor will look to get the Bengals’ offense back on track, and his debut game will be against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.
