After back-to-back AFC North Divisional titles and AFC Championship Game appearances, the Cincinnati Bengals will be watching the playoffs at home this postseason.

Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo knows that his defense has seen some bright spots, with several young players taking on critical roles after the departure of a couple of top veteran performers. 

While it would be easy to point fingers, Anarumo knows that will not help in the continued development of the defense as they prepare for their final game of the season in the Battle of Ohio against the Cleveland Browns. Anarumo also knows it's the NFL, and you can't go out and have errors if you expect to win games.

The veteran NFL coach returned to In The Trenches with Dave Lapham, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss the failures against the Kansas City Chiefs and what lies ahead against the Browns.
