Did it feel like this team just arrived at the Super Bowl?

At no time did I think this current team was going there. Then it’s SuperBowl Sunday, and the Bengals are there. And it’s liked I missed something.  Or they skipped a step. I don’t know but it still seems so weird. And who the hell goes to the Super Bowl and almost wins with that line?  I don’t know how any of it happened.

About the only playoff game I was thinking the Bengals had a good chance of winning was against the Raiders.
They won and had to go to Nashville to play the Titans.
I almost decided not to go because I didn't think they had a chance to win, but I figured how often will I get a chance to see my hometown team play a playoff game in the city I live in?
I then thought for sure the Bengals had an even lower chance against the Chiefs in the postseason.
