How do you feel after this win?

[Benton]

I'm pretty happy with the win.

Why? Well, I'll tell you.

For years, the Steelers beat us. A few of those games, we had the better team. Either we got out coached or guys just didn't care. Whatever the change, we took a beat up team with a qb who statistically was one of the worst in the league, changed a few things up and beat a team that was better than us at most positions. I dunno if that's because the newer guys are buying into what zt is saying or if zt is finally learning how to coach.

But, no, I don't attribute it to bad luck, bad calls or some catastrophic meltdown by the Steelers. They just got outplayed by the bengals for the first time in a long time.

A couple good draft picks, getting rid of some garbage, a good free agency and hopefully at least getting an oc will improve things a lot.
