Bengals Coach Lewis looks to build on success for next season

Sarah Ramsey WVXU

Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis likened himself to the Susan Lucci of coaching. He's been to the playoffs four times and hasn't had a single win. Lewis was a good sport about it when talking to the media Monday about the Bengals loss to Houston. He called it an incredible fall off the cliff but is hopeful for next season.

"We'll continue to enhance the football team. We'll get better. We have a number of guys this year that will be free agent players. We hope to get the majority of our guys back. We know it's unrealistic to believe we'll get 100% of them back. But, we'll enhance, fill-in and continue to build upon the great nucleus we have of mature guys and younger guys."

Lewis thanked the fans for their support and said they've seen lots of great things over the past two seasons.
