Stony and Whatever mentioned popularity and history, but the bottom line, like just about everything else in this country, is money. They make the NFL more money, so they get preferential treatment.
The Bengals are a small market team, so the best we can hope for is an apology a day after the game saying "we screwed up and you should have won, but shit happens. Have a nice day."
