Not even arguing against that. The Bengals were hosed repeatedly in that game, but they had to keep it together and soldier on despite that, and they just couldn't do it for two more minutes.
I'm trying to think of another example of a team completely losing their composure like that during a game where calls aren't going that way and I can't come up with one. That's on the Bengals.
Hell, if they were going to lose their cool and go nuts at least do it while Ryan Shazier is dancing midfield as Gio's getting stretchered off on a dirty hit. At least that's a better look IMO. You simply can't do it when the opponent is driving down the field to try to win the game, no matter what happens.
