A superbowl run is a grind

[CKwi88]

I try not to get overly emotionally invested in sports. At the end of the day, there's no reason it should really negatively impact you at all.

Stinks to lose (more so in that fashion), but life goes on. I just tried to enjoy the ride as much as possible. Getting to a Superbowl is tough. You need the perfect combination of good execution and good luck to make it there. We never know if or when the Bengals will be back in the big game (just ask Rodgers, or Marino) so instead of being super down about it, I just appreciate the ride that absolutely nobody was expecting.
