I just did a little research and there is no concrete stat for it, but wanted to see how we have fared against "super bowl contenders" in the Jungle since AD-AG era began.
I came to a record of around 9-6. My list is not 100% accurate because I'm sure I missed a couple teams, but I have:
2014 - 2-1 (Ravens and Broncos W, Steelers L)
2013 - 5-0 (Steelers, Packers, Pats, Colts, Ravens W)
2012 - 2-2 (Ravens and Giants W, Steelers and Broncos L)
2011 - 0-3 (Niners, Steelers, Ravens L)
Like I just went off memory, I don't remember if some of those are teams were true contenders or if some teams were really contenders that I missed..
But looking further, were 7 of our last 8 victorious...we have only lost to one true contender from the NFC since the era has begun as well.
Bengals have fared very well against the NFC teams since Dalton-Green arrived..and I see the trend continuing this weekend against another super bowl contender from the NFC
Bengals - 31
Seahawks - 20
