:woo hoo: :woo hoo: :woo hoo: Exciting finishes the last few games, beating the 4-0 Bills last week...I'm probably jinxing them right now but I can't help it, I'm So Happy!!!!!!!
CINCINNATI — For the first time in 28 years, the Cincinnati Bengals’ defense is No. 1.
The Bengals are at the top of the league’s rankings this week after giving up fewer yards than anyone else in the first four games. They moved up after shutting down Buffalo’s high-powered offense in a 23-20 win on Sunday, one they considered the best measure yet of how good they can be.
With the NFL’s No. 1 defense staring at the winless Colts instead of Peyton Manning, they’re giving the home team the edge in Sunday’s Paul Brown Stadium game (1 p.m.-WLW 700 and ESPN 1530) when the Bengals try to reach into the last century to end a losing streak for the third straight game.
Two weeks ago it was 10 games and 22 years against the Bills. Last week it was seven games and 16 years in Jacksonville. This week it is another unlucky seven and 14 years against the Colts. Which is how long it is between Kelly Holcomb and Curtis Painter.
“They’re winning the fourth quarter (53-27) when the Colts are getting outscored (40-21). They can’t finish games and the Bengals can.”
When's the last time you saw a sentence like that last one written about them?! :cool0012: :cool0012:
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
