The Bengals can exhale following a win for the first time since Nov. 3. Head coach Zac Taylor discussed the victory’s impact after winning 27-20 against the Cowboys.
“We needed this feeling because those last three locker rooms haven’t been like this,” Taylor said. “So just to feel that joy and the week’s worth of work has paid off for you, and then you turn the page and move on to the next one. But it helps you during the week just to have this confidence. We got one, and now we’ve got to go do it again.”
Cincinnati caught a late-game break to help get the win. A rarity this season amidst a 5-8 campaign so far.
The playoff odds are still near zero with that record, but they are going to claw for everything they can.
“It’s an opportunity for the world to see and we’re going to keep fighting,” Taylor said about the team. “So when the Bengals walk on the field, you’re going to get our best shot. Happy that we got a win, but it’s a short week. But, yeah, now it’s a short week. We’re certainly not going to overlook the team we’re about to play. I have a lot of respect for Tennessee, so we have to turn the page very quickly and get ready for these guys.”
