Just simply winning the turnover battle wins you the game 78% of the time over the years. So if the Bengals won that game it would have actually been a bigger fluke than losing it considering the Bengals were -5 in turnover differential. The Chargers recently made history by being the first team in NFL history to lose in the postseason despite having a +5 turnover margin to give you an idea of how fluky it would have been for the Bengals to not lose that game. Not even touching the 7 sacks the Bengals allowed.

Good point, I'll allow it....

.... however, Joe Burrow having five turnovers is downright flukey in its own right.
