See, this is a perfet example of the criticism of the Bengals around here. Everyone claims that every other good team in the league NEVER loses a single game. But in fact every other good team also loses games. Last year Patriots lost to the 7-9 Eagles and then with home field advantage on the line lost to the Jets and Bills in the final two games of the season. Broncos lost to the Raiders and Colts. None of those teams made the playoffs, but when the Bengals lose to a playoff team like the Texans it is worse than what all other winning teams are doing.
So many haters have zero perspective. they think that every ther good team goes undefeated or at least never loses to a lesser team. They just don'tknow how the NFL works.

Marvin ha sshown a lot of improvement against good teams. Over the last 3 full seasons only 4 teams have more wins against teams that finished with a winning record then the Bengals 10 and only 3 teams have a better winning percentage against teams that finished with a winning record. the Bengals .579 winning percentage against teams that finished with a winning record is one of only 6 teams that have won more than half of such games.
