Andy Dalton-Cincy clash, could Marvin Lewis return to NFL & Cowboys chat with Jon Machota

We thank you for tuning in even through the low, lower and lowest points of the season, we're glad to share this dour ride with you. From "dour" to "sour", is A.J. Green and Cincinnati's relationship soured past the point of reconciliation? Paul and Jay discuss if there's any way the orange-and-black can resuscitate Green's production in its offense, and what's next for the former stud wide out? Andy Dalton is set to play in Paul Brown Stadium under a different team's banner for the first time in his career on Sunday. What will the emotions be like for the 33-year-old who spent his first nine season with the Bengals? Staying with the topic of familiar faces, could Marvin Lewis make another run at the NFL? If so, would he return as a head coach, what would his role be, and could he reunite with Cincinnati? The Athletic's Dallas Cowboys scrivener Jon Machota hops on the line to preview this weekend's 'Suck for Sewell Bowl'. Machota shares his thoughts on Andy Dalton's performance this season, the demonstratively bad defense, Mike McCarthy's first season at the helm and Dallas' draft strategy. Lastly, RPB, an easier Growler and predictions for Cowboys-Bengals.
