I wasn’t overly concerned about the Detroit Lions, even though it was in Detroit. Playing on the road in the NFL is tough, and the saying “any given Sunday” exists for a reason.
The league likes having the vast majority of its teams in the middle class, and typically I would be concerned about the Cincinnati Bengals going on the road to play against any team. The Lions aren’t just any team, though. They’re very bad.
I figured the Bengals would win, so my only worry was them looking bad while they won.
