Bengals coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that he will retain his role as the team's offensive playcaller after his team suffered its third straight loss, a 37-24 home defeat to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Before we dive into Game 2 of the NLDS, let’s take a moment to remember Zack Wheeler. It’s hard to say that Saturday’s Game 1 would have gone any differently if it was Wheeler on the mound instead of Cristopher Sánchez.

The Cincinnati Bengals have been outscored 69-9 in the first half of their last three games. Where does that rank in team and NFL history?

In 20 best-of-three MLB playoff series in the last five years, 16 have ended in a sweep, and only two teams have lost Game 1 and gone on to win the series. The Tigers beat the Guardians, 2-1, in Game 1 of their series Tuesday.
