Bengals fans are finally starting to gain confidence again!
While it may be minimal, any raise in confidence this season has typically come after a promising performance. That was the case in Oakland, as the Bengals gave the Raiders everything they could handle thanks to a big game from Joe Mixon, but it ultimately wasn’t enough in a 17-10 defeat.
Still, pushing a playoff team in their own building is a major step up from what the Bengals have been most of this season: A bad team that can get manhandled by anybody. So, fans have had a little more to be positive about this week:

But confidence can only rise so much in defeat. For Bengals fans to really start believing in the franchise again, a win Sunday vs. the Steelers could go a long way. Even in a down year for the Steelers, beating them always feels special for Bengals fans.
Will they make it happen Sunday?
