Despite a trip to the Super Bowl during what initially looked like a rebuilding year, it’s not uncommon to see some old (and new, with twists) narratives when the Cincinnati Bengals come up in conversations.
Some of these are worthy of a greatest hits playlist. Others are outright new and, at least in some fashion, not totally correct.
Granted, the Bengals catapulting to a Super Bowl after six wins over the prior two seasons is uncharted waters for everyone — fans, the league itself, even the organization.
