The Cincinnati Bengals were an underdog on Sunday at home against the New York Jets, and there were plenty of people expecting the Bengals to continue their winless ways against a Jets team that had scored 102 points in its previous three games.
But a New York Daily Newscolumn by Manish Mehta, in particular, predicting a "second bye," a "cakewalk" and a "layup" against the "hapless" Bengals - shared Monday morning on Twitter by Bengals radio play-by-play man Dan Hoard and others - didn't hedge, and didn't age well.
