Here is the most shocking stat from the Marvin Lewis era.
During Marvin Lewis tenure as head coach only four other teams in the league had more wins against teams than finished with a winning record. BUT. . .
Bengals had 38 wins against winning teams other than Steelers.
Steelers had 38 wins against winning teams other than Bengals.
Bengals had 4 wins against Steelers when they finished with a winning record.
Steelers had 19 wins against Bengals when they finished with a winning record.
So over a 16 year stretch ONE-THIRD of all Stealer victories against winning teams came against just one team. That is mind-boggling. We were one of the better teams in the league and the Stealers completely dominated us like one of the worst.
