Despite their 2-1 record, the 2012 preseason has been a muddled jumble of good and bad, yielding more questions than answers. Below is a [...]
TweetCINCINNATI – Listless. Flat. And too much Aaron Rodgers. That just about sums it up in how badly the 14th-ranked Cincinnati Bengals played in a 27-13 loss to the AP Pro32 top-ranked Green Bay Packers.
