If there's a silver lining in the Bengals season thus far...

The Titans beat up the Houston Texans 31-12 improving their record to an undefeated 3-0. Matt Schaub was roughed up with three interceptions.

The Ravens went out and put a beating (28-10) on the '07 Cinderella-story Cleveland Browns. Anderson completed 14 passes on 37 attempts and recorded three interceptions. Le'Ron McClain rushed for 66 yards on 17 attempts with two scores; McClain rushed for 86 yards on 19 attempts against the Bengals.

With the loss to the Giants, the Bengals are 0-3 against teams that have a combined 8-0 record. I'm not excusing an 0-3 start, but for those of you that are really down-trodden and refuse to constantly march to the drum's beat of Bengals/Mike Brown bashing, there you go.
