Year Iowa points per game National Rank
2017 28.2 66
2018 31.2 43
2019 25.8 t-88
2020 31.8 40
2021 23.4 99
2022 7.0 131

It's really the last part of what you said...win a Super Bowl and then people will start favoring the Bengals truly.

The Chiefs have been in three of four Super Bowls since 2019, winning two of them.
About the only way most people will put Bengals as favorites over Chiefs will be if Mahomes and/or Reid leaves the team, and/or if the Bengals actually win a Super Bowl themselves.

Look what Hendon Hooker became when he got good coaching. Lots of players transfer and then get better production due to much better coaching and surrounding players.
