After getting 51 points hung on them by the New Orleans Saints at home the Cincinnati Bengals fired first year defensive coordinator Teryl Austin.
Marvin Lewis will be more hands on with the defensive, but I bet a lot of Bengals fans are saying when is Lewis going to get the ax?
Injuries haven’t helped Austin, but watching them play against top tier teams: Saints, Chiefs and Steelers they look helpless on defense and a change had to come.
Thoughts on the move?
As for the #Bengals, expect coach Marvin Lewis to take on much more of a role in coordinating the defense with the firing of Teryl Austin.

I’m told #Bengals defensive coordinator Teryl Austin has been relieved of his duties, per source.
