Has your blood pressure dropped, yet?
Last week’s crazy win against the Minnesota Vikings allowed the Cincinnati Bengals to slay many metaphorical dragons. We’re not sure what this means for the 16 remaining games, but signals of a successful season are palpable at 1-0.
Rebounding after giving up a two-touchdown lead in the second half? Check. Receiving massive contributions from brand-new Bengals players? You betcha. Coming out victorious in one of those frustrating one-possession games? Potentially season-changing.
But, while that’s all well and good, it’s in the rearview mirror. This week, the Bengals won’t be in friendly confines of the rocking Paul Brown Stadium, but rather going to a hostile environment at Soldier Field in Chicago.
