More than two hours after the victory, this quote is still in the AP story circulating the news Websites ...
"The Bengals came into their biggest game in 15 years with the division lead despite beating no opponent that currently has a winning record ..."
Uh hi, Minnesota and Chicago in weeks two and three. Outscored them by a total of 44 points, too. It's not like the other teams in our division have that radically different of a schedule, either.
A Cincy win against the Browns next week -- in Cinci -- combined with the Steelers losing to the Bears that day clinches the division. I've got the Broncos/Chiefs game on now, with a Broncos loss resulting in a larger possibility that the Bengals would get the second seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
Is this for real?
