This week vs the Steelers is basically the season

Lamar is always one play away from injury or one breath away from covid. Anything can happen, it's the NFL. It ain't over till it's over. Of course, if they lose the season will be over for the wrist slitters, because they will bleed out and die before the big comeback. It's all moot anyway, we won't lose this game.

Last year, the Bengals did pull off some upsets.
KC (x2)
TEN (playoffs)
BAL (at least away)
PIT (at least away)

They also lost to two teams I thought they should have been able to (easily) beat - NYJ, CHI

So far this year, they haven't upset anyone yet in my eyes.
They have lost three games I thought they should have won going into though - PIT, CLE, and DAL (no Prescott).

I'm saying all that because if this team plays to their ceiling, they have the possibility of beating any of these really good teams left on the schedule. How probable is that though? I would say it's lower currently, but the TEN and KC games could change my perspective, for sure.
