We are witnessing history. The Bengals sit at 15-0 right now and are on the verge of being the first team since the 2007 New England Patriots to have a perfect regular season. This team has shown that they are the real deal countless times. Of course, the Titans run the AFC until proven otherwise, but as of now, the Bengals are a very close second.
The last two games for the Bengals will be against the Bills and the Colts. Both teams will try to put an end to the Bengals winning streak. But whether the Bengals lose or win those final two games, it won’t really matter because the most important time of the year is playoff time. The only thing that people truly care about is who is winning the Super Bowl. So when it’s win or go home, will the Bengals be able to clutch up? If I had to answer that, I would say yes they will.
We have seen some great regular seasons so far in this OGCFM era. Take the 16-1 Raiders last year. They cruised through every team they played. Blowing out their opponent in almost every game. But in the first round of the playoffs, what happened? Their biggest weakness was exposed. Defense. Or take the Colts two years ago. They had a great regular season, but what happened in the playoffs? Their biggest weakness was exposed. Offense. But when we look at this Bengals team, they are just so different. Yes, their offense stands out, but their will to win is on another level. We have seen it multiple times this year. They don’t give up. How many times were they down in the fourth late in the game, and somehow got in field goal range?
This team reminds me of that Bengals team two years ago. Just the fact that they have been so good that it is so hard to think they will keep that momentum throughout the whole season. Until they do. If the Bengals can win it all this season just like Season 3 of this OGCFM era, we may have a dynasty on our hands. Go Bengals!
