The emotional roller coaster that has been the Cincinnati Bengals’ offseason continued last week. After everyone was proclaiming them charlatans for their performance in Week 2 of the preseason versus the Cowboys—a game in which they were victorious, by the way—they came out and shellacked the Buffalo Bills on the road.
Why is this significant? Two reasons.
First, it was on the road and in the second contest in unfriendly confines in as many weeks. This somewhat-disproves the notion that the Bengals may only be effective at home this year.
Secondly, it was against a team that made the playoffs last year.
