[Chief X_Phackter]

This is part of the Bengals narrative in that Power Ranking article:

"Through nine games, the Bengals have told us who they are: They can hang with, and occasionally defeat, middling opponents at or near their level … but they are not in the same weight class as the top teams."

Sound familiar?

Should be an evenly matched game this weekend, unless we finally get 60 minutes out of this defense.
