At some point during the loss, defensive star Trey Hendrickson ran off the field and exchanged a few words with Zac Taylor, even swatting the head coach's arm away.

But at the same time, it's clear that tensions are high in Cincinnati for obvious reasons.
Still, also says volumes about where things are right now.
