The Bengals and Steelers finished off the 2018 with a very close game. It was still the Steelers who ended up coming out on top with a 16-13 victory in an attempt to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Of course, this loss marks the end of a terrible season. It could be the last time most of these players see the field as a member of the Bengals. Obviously with this being the last time we will see this team until 2019, reactions will be a little more broad now that the season is over.
Bengals cover that +15.5 (or +14 if you were late to the party) with ease. Great work, Marvin.

In addition to being his first NFL touchdown, Shawn Williams said today's pick 6 was his first touchdown ever. Never had one in college or high school.

"I thought it was offsides. I thought they had a free play. But they didn't call. So it goes on the stat sheet."

Ultimately the season ends like this
Bengals make it 3 straight losing seasons finishing 6-10 in 2018. Marvin's record after 16 seasons is 131-129-3 with 0 playoff wins. Mike Brown has a decision to make Monday or Tuesday. #Bengals

Reaction around the locker room tonight was a mixed bag about whether Marvin Lewis stays or goes and how they feel about that. There have been players that have stuck up for him and there have been players who said the team will be fine no matter who is coaching next year.

This has to be a mistake. He only had 4 seasons. You have to at least give a coach two decades before you can even give him the chance to consider leaving on his own terms. https://t.co/NZ3GOfDbrj
