"When Benson records 100 yards rushing or more, the Bengals are an undefeated 9-0."

That was exactly what I was thinking
and he had 150+ yards. That shows how ridiculous the passing game was during that game.
Not this time!

The pressure is on you
If you lose to the Pats you will be the laughing stock of the NFL after crying about power rankings and being a division winner. Don’t get cold feet now.
I'd worry about the Jets and quit stalking our board k thx

what's this`
about crying about power rankings and being a division winner?
Was that from the Bengals?
I could sleep when I lived alone.
Is there a ghost in my house?
Who know what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men? The Shadow don't.
And that is not the only thing he doesn’t know anything about. The pressure is on you guys. Few expect us to win it all. Everyone and their demented cousin fathered grandchild thinks you guys should beat everyone. We won’t be hard to find in two weeks and your mouth won’t get it done. Fly away little ratbird. Fly – fly – fly..
