In fact, they were down by a large margin in both of those games, and really should have lost.
Therefore, your use of those games as evidence to support your assertion is shaky, at best.
Look, I love the Bengals as much as anyone, but until they actually start beating down good teams, let's not anoint them as world-beaters, ok?
Is that too much to ask?
They did beat down a healthy Baltimore in their house. They curb stomped the Stoolers at PBS. Winning close games against a team the caliber of KC is the sign of a good team. Especially when you're able to shake off early miscues and deficits to come back and win. They were pretty young across the board and growing/learning throughout the year. If the trajectory stays the same, there's no reason to believe the Bengals won't be a tough out for any team in the league. They addressed the one glaring weakness.
