So I was skeptical of the Bengals beating the likes of TEN, KC, and BUF.

And then when the Bengals beat TEN, I thought perhaps TEN just wasn't as good I thought (or they don't match up well to the Bengals).
So I was more optimistic but still skeptical of truly beating teams like KC and BUF given their ability to pass the ball.

This win against KC has now convinced me the Bengals are back to their late-season 2021 form of actually being a contender again.
I now think they could beat any team remaining on their schedule, but I still won't be upset if they drop a couple games the rest of the way.
They've pulled a couple great wins to make it less worrisome of getting back into the playoffs.

IDK if you remember or not, but a week or so ago, you and I were discussing our playoff chances and how beating KC would almost put us in the driver's seat with a really good shot at 10 wins. Welp, it happened!
