My niece, who was at the game with my nephew-in-law and a bunch of friends said she thought the Bengals were holding back. Yes, it would have been fun to see an offensive explosion like the game at the end of last year, but there are several good reasons for holding back. It's like a complicated high-stakes poker game or chess match.
Still, it's going to be close and will be one of the better games of the weekend including Jacksonville upsetting the uprooted San Diego Chargers. And ooh, Detroit so deserved to be in the NFC wildcard round, but maybe next year.
If we had hung 40 on them last Sunday, it would just give them extra motivation to injure our players this Sunday.
