I think the Bengals players are feeling more than a little disrespected. Doesn't excuse not just showing how good they are on the field, versus speaking about how good they are, but they were in the Super Bowl last year and still looked down upon. 6th in the power ratings behind the Chiefs and Buffalo, and not one player even mentioned by one sportscaster for his pro-bowl selection (although he does recognize Burrow could change the equation in the Monday Night game).
Here is his nominations for the Pro bowl, which has three Chiefs and three Eagles and even Browns and Steelers players, but not a single Bengals.

If you count his second team pro bowl selections, then the Bengals have 1 (Burrow), while the Chiefs have 6 and the Eagles 5 and even the Patriots and Jets 3. So, I think some of the players are getting annoyed how little talent people seem to think the Bengals have.
