Bengals are being slept on

We've won 6 of 8 and 4 of 5.

Three of our four losses were at the gun. We could very easily be 7-3, 8-2, or hell...even 9-1 right now.

Our offense is humming - we've scored 30 or more points in the last 4 of 5 games (some without Chase). Our defense is rock solid.

This team is well coached (least penalties in football) and full of leaders.

The national media won't talk about us. Fans from other teams still don't respect us.

I don't know of another team that is being slept on more than this Bengals team. We are ELITE and can beat ANYONE. Don't let anyone tell you (or not tell you) otherwise.

Don't look now.....

Quote:The Cincinnati Bengals are still the AFC's most dangerous team

The defending AFC champions avenged their lousy Week 1 loss to the Steelers with a 37-30 victory in Pittsburgh. It wasn't easy -- nothing with the Bengals is this year -- but even with top running back Joe Mixon out of the game for large stretches and star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase still out with a hip injury, Joe Burrow, Trey Hendrickson, Tee Higgins and the Bengals found a way.
The Bengals improved their record to 6-4 -- still just one game behind the Baltimore Ravens for first place in the AFC North and, at the time their game ended, good enough to hold the No. 7 spot in the projected AFC playoff field, pending the result of Sunday night's Los Angeles Chargers-Kansas City Chiefs game.

Verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION
They still have Burrow. They still have the memory of last January/February. They still have Chase coming back at some point soon. Cincinnati still has an uphill climb as a result of heartbreaking early-season losses to Pittsburgh, Dallas and Baltimore, but they have the ability and the self-belief to do the climbing. They might not catch the Ravens in the division. They might not have enough to go to Kansas City and win in the playoffs again this season. But no one's going to be comfortable having the Bengals in contention until someone knocks them out.
And Sunday's victory over an admittedly substandard Pittsburgh team showed that. You can laugh all you want about the Steelers, but the history between these two teams is real and it's painful for Cincinnati. It doesn't matter how tough it might be -- beating the Steelers tells you things are good right now with the Bengals.
