Every player and coach on this team spoke of the veteran leaders that also were pretty damn good players that kept team chemistry, belief and the locker room intact.
Your line of thinking is EXACTLY what happens to teams like the S__t stains up north and all these manufactured teams over the years that bring in shit morale and me me me players.
Yes, the reason the Bengals made the run they did was cause of 'Team Chemistry'. They overcame massive talent gaps and galvanized their play to exceed production magically.
Or, they have a top 5 QB, had a weaker schedule, got ungodly production from their Special Teams, and had a top 3 WR core in the NFL and solid Dline play.
And sure, they liked playing with each other (Great QBs will do that to a young team) - But Bates was awful in the majority of the regular season, so if the team chemistry was so integral, why was he so awful for so many reg season games? I thought the fake team camaraderie would make him magically better?
