Yes, the Bengals finally jettisoned longtime coach Marvin Lewis, who failed to provide even one playoff victory in 16 seasons. And they went with the new NFL flow by hiring former Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Taylor to be their head coach, keeping with the trend of hiring men who at least are thought to be offensive gurus in the currently pass-happy NFL.

Chiefs rally once again to defeat 49ers, win SB LIV
With a season on the line and his team down, 20-10, in the last quarter, Mahomes found tight end Travis Kelce for a score and then running back Damien Williams for the game-winner. Williams broke loose to seal the win with a 38-yard run down the sideline.

Chris Jones after SB win: 'I want to be a Chief for life'
Against the 49ers on Sunday night, it was more of the same from the 25-year-old pass rusher. He finished with one tackle but tallied a game-high three pass deflections and hurried Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo numerous times, including being the first one in to pressure him into throwing an interception early in the second quarter.

He explained that it wasn't a matter of not being aggressive, but being cautious because of the firepower that existed on the other sideline.
