CINCINNATI – There’s a set of televisions on the wall between the tunnel at Paul Brown Stadium and the Bengals’ locker room.
The televisions were airing the conclusion of the Browns-Ravens game on Sunday afternoon just minutes after the Bengals came back to win 27-17 against the Dolphins. A number of players came through the tunnel and stopped to watch the game before Bengals coach Marvin Lewis hurried them along.
“Let’s go, guys. We’re what counts. We’re what counts,” he said.
It’s true that the Bengals don’t need to worry about what their division opponents are doing right now, when they sit alone on top of the AFC North with a 4-1 record.
