Worst loss?

But the truth is, losing a game that you earned hurts a lot more than giving away a game you didn't deserve to win.

The Vikings deserved to win. They were in position, with what should have been an automatic field goal, but one small mistake ended it all.

It reminded me of the Denver game in 2006. The team is lining up to kick what should be a game winning/tying field goal/extra point.

And then, inexplicably, the gods of Football decided you weren't going to celebrate that day.

The Bengals lost by shooting themselves in the foot over and over again after, through a series of extremely fortunate events, coming back from 15 down to take the lead.

We almost snuck out of Paul Brown with a win that we probably didn't deserve. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way.

Both games are absolutely heart breaking. But losing a game you should have won hurts a whole lot more than losing a game you were lucky to be in the running for to begin with.

The Bengals didn't deserve to win?

They stopped one of the best offenses in the NFL. Stopped the hottest receiver in the NFL right now. Held them to 15 points. Scored a clutch touchdown in the final minutes of the game.

Intercepted the ball within the opponents 30 yard line with under 2 minutes to go. Already winning 16-15.

You can't tell me the Bengals didn't deserve to win that game. You can't tell me they didn't do everything to earn that win.
