As seen by the lead art up top, the Cincinnati Bengals flew into the uncontested top of the AFC North and the third seed of the AFC Playoff picture after dismantling the Baltimore Ravens. Sunday’s game was the third time Cincinnati dropped exactly 41 points on a division rival this season.
Much has been made about the validity of that offensive success. The Ravens were nowhere near full strength on defense, and they allowed several easy plays for the Bengals. No one can deny this, but if the Bengals want to be known as a dominant powerhouse, they need to showcase that when opportunities arise.
