Marvin Lewis didn’t plan to watch the Steelers advance to the AFC title game on Sunday by winning in Kansas City by the same score _ 18-16 _ they beat the Bengals in Cincinnati last year in the wild Wild Card Game.
Plus, he didn’t want to watch the Falcons make it to the NFC title game by turning Seattle’s Legion of Boom into the Battalion of Silence at the hands of Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan.
Remember? During a span of 28 days in 2015 he watched his Bengals hold three of the quarterbacks in those two divisional games to a combined two touchdowns while picking them off four times in victories over Kansas City, Seattle, and Pittsburgh.
