CINCINNATI -- Very few times in the past 26 years have the following words been written or spoken: the Cincinnati Bengals' bandwagon is growing.
It is safe to say that after a historic 7-0 start to the Bengals' 2015 season, those words are now ringing true in the Queen City. Sure, the pessimism that has long operated within modern-day Cincinnati sports fandom still exists at a certain level, but there has been growing optimism here that this might be the year the Bengals finally win in the playoffs and put to rest the past narratives about how they can't win on the biggest of stages.
