After an incredible 8-0 run to start the 2015 season, the Cincinnati Bengals followed up a bogeyman-reviving Monday Night Football pratfall with a heartbreaking road loss against the contending Arizona Cardinals.
Against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, though, the Bengals played every bit like the juggernaut they were through the first two-and-a-half months of the season. Any worries Bengals fans might have had about an Atlanta Falcons-like tailspin were erased by a 60-minute, no-doubt performance by quarterback Andy Dalton, tight end Tyler Eifert and the 43 other active Bengals.
