Can the NFL’s least-intimidating franchise really be the NFL’s scariest team?

The Cincinnati Bengals haven’t a won a playoff game in 24 seasons — the longest run of futility in the NFL — but dominant 3-0 Cincy is playing the best football of any team so far this season. Maybe 2014 is the year the Bengals’ playoff skid ends.

The Seahawks may be better. The Broncos may be more explosive. But right now, no one has put together a better opening month than Marvin Lewis and company.

Where’s the weakness? When Week 3 ends on Monday night, the Bengals should have a top 10 offense and defense. They’ve given up 33 points, which is the lowest in the NFL (with the exception of Carolina, who plays tonight). The team’s 80 points scored are second-most in the AFC, behind only Indianapolis. And no other team has a longer current home winning streak than Cincinnati’s 11. (No, not even Seattle.)

Doubt it

That was a timid response.

The article LITERALLY starts off with "Seattle might be better". If you're looking for an argument, the author provided it himself...

I know, the article didn't make much sense, but I enjoyed the title.

Through 3 games, the Bengals look like the best team in the AFC . But it's a long season and a lot can happen in 16 games . Still, they have the best talent and balance in the conference. The only legit question is whether Dalton can lead the troops during the playoffs.
