Unbelievable in the AFC North

There is nothing I would rather see more than the Bengals defense finding their old, aggressive nature, and playing really strong down the stretch, but I just don't see it with this group.  They are old (Jones, Peko), fat (Maualuga, Burfict), and slow (MJ, Dansby).  When your surprise player on defense is Margus Hunt, you are in trouble.  

 Praying for this team to prove me wrong.  

AMEN to that!
