A win is a win. That much is true.
However, a total win, in which one team thoroughly dominates the other team in all three phases of the game, is obviously better than “just a win.”
That’s what the Cincinnati Bengals did to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon in Paycor Stadium, winning by a final score of 34-14.
Jake Browning had another great game, and other than one bad defensive drive and one offensive mistake, the Bengals showed there isn’t a team in the AFC they can’t hang with, even without Joe Burrow.
