Yes, really. He said the Vikings were WILLING to do what it takes to win a Super Bowl. Which is a fact.
The Bengals are not WILLING to do what it takes to win a Super Bowl. Mike Brown wants to win one HIS way, not ANY way. The Vikings haven't gone that path.
The Vikings have actually had plenty of success compared to the Bengals.
Since 1991: The Bengals have 7 winning seasons and 4 division titles. 0-7 in the playoffs.
Since 1991: The Vikings have 15 winning seasons and 8 division titles. 7-14 in the playoffs. They've been to 4 Conference Championships during that time.
The Vikings have reached the Conference Championship game 9 times, which would be tied for 7th most in the NFL.
The Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, Patriots, Raiders, and Broncos are all above them. They are tied with the Rams.
The Bengals, however, have only ever been to 2 Conference Championship games. The only teams they have more conference championship games than are the Lions, Texans, and Chiefs.
However, they've been to as many as the Cardinals and Saints.
But, no, the Bengals have DEFINITELY had as much success as the Vikings
