2. You are the culture you create
First, I like Marvin Lewis. A great deal. Good man. Good human being.
But I don't think there's any question Lewis hasn't done enough to curb nasty behavior from some of his players. Yes, the Bengals aren't the only team with culture issues. Yes, the Steelers players weren't angels, either. Yes, yes, yes. Glad we got that out of the way.
The problem is, the Bengals' history with on-field and off-field issues goes back years under Lewis. It's all well-chronicled. A great example is solid citizen Vontaze Burfict. It wasn't just the cheap shot he delivered against the Steelers.
Go back one week earlier in a game against the Ravens. This hit by Burfict is just totally inexcusable:
