He didn't right anything.
He righted the ship about as much as Rapistburger "won" his first SB. Sure he was the QB, and he was present on the field, but it was the rest of the team carrying him.
You don't get to be awful for over 3 quarters, turning the ball over and giving the other team points, while your D plays it's heart out and then step in when your D makes huge plays and put up a couple short field TDs and be a hero.
He didn't even need to be great all game. If he just merely didn't suck/turn the ball over the first three quarters, the Bengals would have handily won that game. Part of that is likely because no QB has ever succeeded in the postseason under Lewis, but that doesn't mean he gets a pass and suddenly is an unflappable god who shines in all the big moments. Fact is... he went 2-3, and 0-2 in prime time with arguably the best offensive weapons a Bengals team has ever had at once. He only managed to beat Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Mallett's 5-11 teams.
