Such a word would be the biggest takeaway of all when it comes to the Cincinnati Bengals after the team's Week 4 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, 36-21.
Andy Dalton once again put on a show, looking like a player who, for lack of a better cliche, has turned a corner. The running game looked stout. The defense gave up a silly amount of yards but muscled up where it mattered most.
It's lofty praise for a team best approached with cautious optimism in recent years, but something feels different about these Bengals through four games.
