Being a Cincinnati Bengals fan is nothing if not stressful. When you don’t expect anything, they look like a contender. When you start to expect them to look like a contender, they look like a pretender. I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll die younger than I would had I grown up in a different city with a more consistent NFL team. Being a Bengals fan will take years off my life.
On Sunday, the Bengals dropped their second straight loss, this time to the Browns by a score of 41-16. They were dominated by the Browns in their own house in every facet of the game from the first snap to the last.
