I think Paul Brown just got outcoached.
1970. They get shutout by the Colts 17-0
In 1970 the Bengals were in their third season as an expansion team in an era WITH NO FREE AGENTS. It was an amazing feat to even win the division.
After the Colts beat the Bengals in the playoffs they beat a Raiders team lead by Hall-of-Fame coach John Madden in the conference Championship game and a Cowboys team lead by Hall-of-Fame coach Tom Landry in the Super Bowl.

The '73 Bengals were a very good team, but again, after beating the Bengals in the playoffs the Dolphins beat the Raiders under Hall-of-Fame coach Madden in the Conference Championship game and then a Vikings team lead by Hall-of-Fame coach Bud Grant.

Tough 3 point loss on the road against a very good Raiders team. Raiders were a 6.5 point favorite. No need for any "excuses" for losing that game.
