If the Bengals performed the entire year at the level we've expected of them, they should right there with the Chiefs competing for #1 seed.
Might be the difference of 13-4 instead of 10-7, for example. Now maybe they end up having to play the Chiefs in Arrowhead instead of at Paycor in the AFCCG.
It's also just nice to see more wins in general during the regular season because it's...fun.
We always look back at the end of the season and say "if we had won this one". If KC doesn't stumble we have already lost out on the #1 seed, lol.
It looks like we should have won the KC game, the Patriots game we probably will just accept the Zac Taylor game 1 L. Like the Mavin Lewis under the lights L, it's a guarantee. Unfortunately his Game 2 Ls are also guarantees.
