Terence Newman: We were flat-out embarrassed

The Bengals opened October with a 3-0 record and people wondering whether they might wind up as the top team in the AFC.

Three weeks into the month, people are wondering very different things about the team. After Sunday’s 27-0 thrashing at the hands of the Colts, the Bengals are now 0-2-1 this month and cornerback Terence Newman didn’t pull any punches when assessing his team’s performance.

“It’s not how we play football. You guys know that. It’s embarrassing,” Newman said, via the team’s website. “We flat-out got embarrassed today. There’s nothing else I can say about it.”

Injuries to players like A.J. Green and Vontaze Burfict have clearly paid a role in the change of fortunes for the Bengals, but neither Newman nor his teammates used that as an excuse for the team’s struggles. Instead, they talked about getting back to basics and believing in one another as they try to stop the bleeding.

They’ll get that chance against the Ravens at home next Sunday and a win there would make things look a little better once November gets underway. Based on what we’ve seen the last three weeks, though, there’s a lot of work that has to get done before anyone will be expecting that result from Cincinnati.
