The Cincinnati Bengals did the impossible on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City. Not only did they of the striped helmets knock off the twice-defending AFC champion Chiefs to cap off an improbable run to the Super Bowl (the star-crossed franchise’s first appearance since 1989) but they also provided a new, unknown feeling across an NFL environment unforgiving to amateur and professional observers alike.
Peace.
