Ball security was questionable at best. AJ Green tipped two Dalton passes into interceptions and fumbled a third ball later. He too came up limping. The turnover differential was -2.
Still, the Bengals won against Buffalo, a team with a winning record.
In the rain.
With no run game.
With Andy Dalton throwing two picks.
With two personal fouls.
With Marvin Lewis in charge.
The Cincinnati Bengals finally won an ugly game where very little went right. Only the best teams do this.
Post win euphoria is the leading cause of nutty posts.
Only the best teams win ugly? Teams win ugly all the time. The best teams typically pull out ugly and/or close games consistently. One ugly win doesn’t prove anything. Regardless, I think it was a pretty good showing overall, in spite of some fluke-ish turnovers, and tough conditions. The defense certainly showed up, nothing bad about them. They were also under a lot of pressure to win this game, having dug themselves quite a hole, out of the gate.
This post brought to you by the Cincinnati Bengals. Proud leaders in squandering opportunity, since 1969.
