Cincinnati is 0-3 for the first time in the Joe Burrow era. "It’s&nbsp;time to stop crowning the Bengals for beating the Kansas City Chiefs once," <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/nfl-fact-or-fiction-bengals-are-the-most-overrated-nfl-team" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Manzano wrote </a> . "Yes, that&nbsp;doesn’t summarize how monumental that victory was, but the purpose of this section is to convince the football public to forget about what the Bengals did on Jan. 30, 2022. Many believe the Bengals will consistently be as good as they were during the&nbsp;’21&nbsp;playoffs. "I’m&nbsp;not here to diminish the&nbsp;Bengals’&nbsp;memorable playoff&nbsp;victory,&nbsp;because only that team can say they beat Patrick Mahomes in the postseason without Tom Brady on their side. And they probably would have won Super Bowl LVI if Aaron Donald&nbsp;hadn’t&nbsp;blown up a crucial play late in the game. It was a special season in Cincinnati, but&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;time to move on." <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> That it is. Cincinnati is still stuck in the past in too many ways (i.e.&nbsp;contracts, roster construction), and&nbsp;it's&nbsp;completely&nbsp;wrecked the start of the 2024 season. Time will tell if they can turn it around and become the second team this century to start 0-3 and make the NFL playoffs.
