Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis plastered the locker room monitors last week with pictures of what would be a hit with Cincinnati school kids everywhere if they actually existed: lunch boxes adorned with a Bengals B.
The Bengals lunch bucket is a figment of Lewis’ imagination but it has come to life so well in the personality of his team it could be their new logo. After Sunday’s 37-3 demolition of the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium, the Bengals have methodically built their record to the best ever in the history of the franchise at 10-2 and have burrowed into the AFC’s first seed by keeping their head down and punching the clock.
