Now, in terms of scouting the Bengals, it is VERY tough going in to the 2nd week having to travel coming off a 5 quarter game. It may not seem like a lot of difference, but it is. There is a historical trend of teams struggling going on the road after an OT game that goes the full quarter. The team needs lots of healing this week.
It might help a little that the Bears were the late game Sunday, though, and they had to travel home.
That being said, I am downright amazed at the conditioning that the Bengals showed yesterday. In extreme heat, an OT game, that defense just kept coming.
That's mentality my friend. The mentality brought here by the likes of Vonn Bell, Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton and Jessie Bates. There is no quit in these guys. We've all seen Bengals defenses under Marvin that would have folded after the 4th down failure and resulting change of momentum. Not this one, Bengals Defense is going to be the talk of the NFL in the next few weeks. When Waynes comes out and replaces Apple, it will only be better. And for those who lamented getting rid of Lawson, while I liked Carl, I predicted he would be injured this year and Hendrickson is as advertised.... He was a complete beast yesterday.
