Star tribune: Best to keep your head on a swivel when Bengals come to town

The local Minnesota media seems to be under the impression we are the dirtiest team in the league    these are my favorites;

"Sunday, a lousy Cincinnati Bengals team will face one of the NFL’s best success stories. Which means that one or two cheap shots from a cheap team could ruin the Vikings’ season."


"Even if you want to overlook Lewis’ inability to win one playoff game in 15 years in Cincinnati, Zimmer would be wrong.
Lewis runs the dirtiest team in the NFL. Earlier this month, Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster blindsided Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict with a helmet-to-helmet hit, then stood over Burfict.
That was wrong, yet karmic. Burfict has been leveling cheap shots at opponents for years."

I guess it's official folks, if Pittsburgh and now Minnesota think we the dirtiest team in the league well then it must be true.  

The ignorance of the NFL fans and media will never cease to amaze me

Meh... I thought the worst part of the article was Mike Zimmer claiming Marvin Lewis should keep his job.

Good. If you're head's on a swivel, maybe the ball goes though your hands. That's why the Steelers play the way they do.

Zimmer was angling for an advantage in 2020 when the Vikings play the Bengals again. Genius move.

Yay, we have street cred.

I'd wager they're not afraid of us. Their true fear: Rodgers leads the Pack to a WC birth and ends up beating their asses yet again. No matter how much success they have, they're still looking over their shoulders and that GB inferiority complex is manifesting itself as Bengal hate. I have a buddy that's a Vikings fan and he's worried dude is gonna rise like Jason and trap'em in the cabin once again.

I know Zim is a God on this board, but after those remarks I really hope the Vikings leave that game tomorrow bloodied and with their playoff hopes in tatters. At least one scribe in Minny-soda can pat himself on the back for being so clairvoyant.

Add to that the Vikings history of choking.   They've been Vikingized.

Cheap shottier than the squeelers? Well that's a novel approach.. Of course the squeelers are the golden boys so can do no wrong, but a team struggling? Well, that's another story. Oh well..I don't really care to be honest who is considered cheap shot artists and who isn't. All is fair in love and war, huh?

I love it when sports writers have no clue what they're talking about.
