5 dream scenarios for Bengals in 2023 season
By John Buhler
2. Cincinnati Bengals beat Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs in succession in AFC playoffs
Over the last two years, the Bengals have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead to reach Super Bowl 56 and defeated the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park to set up an AFC title bout rematch in KC. But what if I told you, the Bengals could potentially knock both of their emerging conference rivals in succession in the postseason? Divisionals and championship game to get to Las Vegas.
Of course, I do envision other teams to be incredible over in the AFC as well. If it’s the Jacksonville Jaguars meeting them in the divisionals or beyond, so what? That team is trending up, as could be clubs like the division rival Baltimore Ravens, the Los Angeles Chargers and the New York Jets. However, ending the Bills’ and Chiefs’ seasons in back to back weeks is such a freaking ego trip.
Don’t tell me you wouldn’t be brimming with the utmost confidence if you were on the 2023 Bengals that slayed its conference’s two other ferocious dragons in the span of seven days. With that confidence, you know what that means. To quote the iconic Jalen Ramsey, “We’re going to the Super Bowl, and we’re gonna win that b***h.” Nobody is beating Cincy if they pulled this parlay off.
Even if they came up short in Las Vegas vs. the NFC winner, their pathway in would be legendary.
