What has been 'the' difference?

[*bengalfan74*]

Everything :

Andy Dalton - has finally started putting it together.

Coaches - are putting it all together.

Belief - they believe in each other, what they're doing and why they're doing it.

Health - no major injuries to key players so far.

Luck - it's always a part of it, staying healthy, ball bouncing their way, etc. But I still believe you create  a lot of your own luck.
