Stephen A. Smith Doesn’t Hold Back on Bengals’ Zac Taylor

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith argued on Monday that the Cincinnati Bengals need a new head coach following a 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith criticized head coach Zac Taylor for over-relying on quarterback Joe Burrow and failing to develop a viable running game, noting that the Bengals currently rank 31st in the NFL in rushing attempts and rushing yards.

The defeat dropped Cincinnati to a 2-2 record after consecutive losses, despite Burrow throwing for 428 yards. Taylor defended his team's effort, emphasizing the need to make adjustments going forward as Cincinnati prepares to visit Miami on Sunday.
