I would neverever attempt inform the Cincinnati Bengals to repair what isn’t broken.
Joe Burrow and goodfriends wouldn’t be playing in their 2nd successive AFC title videogame if they weren’t positive. Heck, let’s be sincere. The safeguarding conference champs have a shot at Super Bowl redemption specifically duetothefactthat they believe they’re muchbetter than everybody.
