The 4 "best" teams in Bengals history, since 1980 at least, all had a clunker games from mid-season on. 

1981, 5-2 Bengals lost to 1-6 Saints in game #8 (sound familiar?) After that loss, they won 5 in a row and went to the Super Bowl
1988, 6-0 Bengals lost to 2-4 Patriots in game #7. Went on to the Super Bowl.
2005, 11-3 Bengals lost to the 4-10 Bills in game #15. Finished 11-5.
2015, 8-0 Bengals lost to 3-5 Texans in game #9. Finished 12-4.

Game #8, in a 17 game season, is not going to determine how the season ends up.
