It’s looking like all aboard the Cincinnati Bengals hype train now.
With the team going into San Francisco after the bye and securing that blowout win over the 49ers, national talking heads and otherwise are all on the Bengals are back vibes.
It’s hard to blame those who fell off the ride, of course. Joe Burrow’s calf injury that derailed the start of the season is one of the trickier soft-tissue issues to project, so onlookers were justified in wondering if the season might be lost.
Instead, the Bengals are 4-3, looking good and on the receiving end of some very strong reactions after the win over the 49ers.
