If I remember correctly Sam ran the score up on The Oilers because he said he was trying to brake their confidence. The next week they needed to lose for the Bengals to get into the playoffs. The next week they won and we got knocked out. Sam was a nut but was unbelievably innovative. I don't think he gets enough credit for the way he changed the game. Many have taken credit for his ideas. And the Cleveland statement was priceless.
As far as beating down another team the Bengals didn't actually do it to the Rams but putting your backup QB and others in is a big statement in the NFL. That doesn't happen very often in the NFL. Your saying we just smoked you and we think you've had enough. There was no need to leave the starters in but I still think its a statement.
