I got a laugh out of this article, "Questionable holding call helped Bengals nail down victory." No mention of the suspect PI call that kept the Ravens alive and helped them score a TD. Instead, a questionable holding call gave the Bengals the game spin.

But like I have stated before, a lot of Internet sports "journalism" is more about generating clicks than quality and fair reporting.
Holy shit if that isn't a spin then i don't know what is. But that's Florio for ya.
He hates the Bengals.
In fact i thinks it's best at this point to presume 99% of the media hates the Bengals.
Hence why casual fans still think our team is made up of a bunch of thugs and criminals.
Meanwhile it still hasn't been reported that a team that resides in a city that has had racial tension in the past, including riots, has never had a player kneel during the Anthem. Which would also go far to dispel the thug and criminal myth.
So yeah, in the media we have definite bias and outright hate. Whether or not that translates to the NFL cannot yet be confirmed with evidence because as already mentioned - the officiating has been horrible all over the league.
No thanks to Goodell who has just about ruined the game itself.
