The Cincinnati Bengals are 0-2 with no touchdowns after two home games to start the 2017 season.

That hurts to read, right? So does the fact the team suffered a self-inflicted wound of sorts by allowing an exodus in the offensive trenches over the offseason. Or the fact the coaches won’t give the full workload to rookie running back Joe Mixon yet. Or that they mostly ignored wide receiver John Ross in the Week 2 loss Thursday night.

But it doesn’t compare to this.

Look at this bit of history the Bengals made, courtesy of ESPN Stats & Info:

We’re not done, folks.

The Bengals, per NFL Research, share some nasty history with a 1-15 club and more eye-opening dates worth knowing:

What’s oddest about this situation is simple. The Bengals have A.J. Green. They have Tyler Eifert. Not only did they spend the ninth overall pick on Ross, they have the most talented back from the class in Mixon.

And this is the start they’re off to after two games.

All hope isn’t lost for the season. But history says an 0-2 start bodes poorly for the season, and the derailment here on Thursday seemed predictable after the coaching staff did little to change.
