The Cincinnati Bengals won.
At the end of the season, we’re not going to look back and remember how they beat the Giants. We’ll remember they won, whether this is the start of a run that leads to something special, or if it’s just one of a handful of wins they were able to squeak out in a lost season.
So that’s what matters the most.
That’s not the end of the article, though.
They won ugly.
If we’re allowed to feel good after a one-point loss to the Chiefs in Kansas City, then we’re allowed to swallow hard after they walked away from the Giants with a win after they did everything they could to lose.
