The Cincinnati Bengals clinched the first overall pick with their loss on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, but coach Zac Taylor isn't ready to talk about it yet. Taylor wants to focus on the team's last game against the Cleveland Browns and trying to finish the season with a win.
Even though the team only has one win on the season, Taylor knows how hard the team has fought this season and it's not respectable to them to already be looking ahead to the offseason.
‘No, because I think you see a team that doesn’t care about that right now, a team that’s just trying to win,” Taylor said at his press conference via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “We fight too hard, we work too hard. If there’s any competitive juices in you whatsoever, you can’t go out on a field not trying your best to win the game.
“That’s what you saw from these players, these coaches, this organization. Those are thing that we handle in the offseason. Right now, we’re just trying to win football games because we put in too much work to not give every effort. I’m proud of the group for still charging hard here at the very end.”
The Bengals almost pulled off an impressive comeback against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and if they give the same type of effort against the Browns there is no reason they can't pull the upset.
Once the Bengals do turn their attention to the draft, it would be shocking if the Bengals didn't select LSU quarterback Joe Burrow.
