They have never won a Sunday Night Football game since 2004 (including playoffs)
They are 0-11 since 2004 for NBC Broadcasted games. That's including the playoffs.
Wikipedia gave me these numbers since MB took the helm in 1991.

This^ exactly. Shouldn't matter if they play in prime time or burp time, a quality team wins no matter the time of game or who is watching.
If the Bengals can't win big prime time games they don't deserve to be considered playoff quality.
Chiefs travel to NE this weekend and could come out of there at 5-1. We can beat Pittsburgh. If that scenario plays out then we'll be playing KC for first place and the #1 seed.
For me, these two games and the NO game will really give us a gauge to this team.

Exactly! They also need to start being able to beat Pitt if they want the Lombardi.

I know past history doesn't mean squat, but BOTH times they went to the SB, they were the #1 seed!

Winning in Gillette is a tall order. The Pats are 116-20 (.853) at home with Brady.
That said, KC is one of those 20 losses, and they did it just last year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

The Bengals have lost their last 6 games against the Steelers, gotta change that this week.
The Bengals have never won more than 2 primetime games under Marvin Lewis in the same season.
In fact, Andy Dalton has 6 of Marvin Lewis' 9 primetime wins.
Granted, he still has 19 losses (4 playoff games).
Need to prove you're a contender and not just the same Bengals team we've seen year in and year out under Marvin
0fer on Sunday Nights under Marv. This would be a fantastic streak to break under the circumstances.

The good thing is you would think eventually we will luck one out. That said, against the Chiefs at home where they typically kick ass on primetime is not a great sign

The hope is they can duplicate what they did on offense against the Falcons, with a little more 4 quarter consistency and they can catch their D on a good night.

Time to flip the script! As has been noted......you gotta beat the big dogs to be on the porch.....might as well start this Sunday and then take it to the Chiefs in Arrowhead.

Yep. We can do it too. No doubts in my mind. Can't be intimidated. Just get it done and move on and don't look back.

How does that saying go again?
