The reigning AFC North champions have had a less than ideal start to the season, dropping key divisional games to the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. The team has had to battle from behind often, after slow, mistake ridden starts to games. "We want to start ******* fast each and every week" said Coach Hernandez in this week's media session. "This season, that has obviously been a struggle. Twice already we have had to claw our way back from 21 point deficits. While we won both of those contests, that is not our brand of football. Expect a ******* fired up team this upcoming week coming into Cincinnati". Hernandez has obvious reasons for being upset, as his team has appeared to have lost its dominant identity from last season. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has been a turnover machine and running back Nick Chubb has put the ball on the ground two times too many. This team is still loaded with talent, and they will look to assert their dominance this week as they travel to Cincinnati to take on they're hated divisional foe.
