Marvin Lewis and his Cincinnati Bengals, unified from top to bottom, inside and out, confidently united and aiming for victory.
Perhaps, some might say, where does the courage of the Cincinnati Bengals come from, Taylor Swift?
One team had missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons and was slowly declining, while the other had just won the Super Bowl and was on the rise.
Even though the Kansas City Chiefs had narrowly lost to the New England Patriots in their last game, they should have been the favored side.

This season, the Cincinnati Bengals fully recovered.
They kicked off the season by defeating the Indianapolis Colts and then the Baltimore Ravens, beating playoff contenders in two consecutive cold-game surprise victories, with a young team finally maturing and regaining strength after overcoming injury troubles.
