The Cincinnati Bengals endured a terrible 2016 season that saw them finish third in the division and miss out on the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Marvin Lewis is one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the league, and he’s had success in Cincinnati, but there have been rumors swirling that the two sides may part ways in 2017.

That doesn’t seem to be happening, though.

“I’ll be back in 2017,” Lewis said on Sirius XM NFL Radio on Thursday morning.

He also had this to say on Wednesday during his press conference.

"It's unfortunate you can have somebody do something like that and cause you guys (the media) work," Lewis said. "It's unfortunate."
