Bengals head coach Zac Taylor is pleased with how his team responded to close the season, but there's one more winning goal to accomplish.

"The gratifying part for me is that this team has maintained their energy through some really difficult times and really stuck together when people question what they're going to see from us," Taylor said this past Sunday. "There should be no questioning that. This team is made of the right stuff, and that's just the part that I focus on.

"We have a great group of coaches that really stuck together and kept coaching, and these players have bought into it and provided tremendous energy for us, and the proof is in the pudding these last two weeks on the field. That's all we can control right now is every game that's in front of us, and how we're going to react to it, so we've got to do that for one more week."

The season wraps up on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET against Cleveland.
