They're vilifying the Bengals and have been for years. It used to be for off field stuff but now that they can't use that they have turned their attention to on the field.
I don't disagree. Just the best word I could come up with at the time. TBH, the Patriots can't be vilified because to most who aren't fans of theirs, they ARE villains. I'd just rather the asshole Patriots win than the scumbag Steelers. The Pats embrace the image they earned. The Steelers employ more of the Eddie Hascal bullshit.
