- - - The Cincinnati Bengals have plenty of confidence going into the divisonal round against the Tennessee Titans. - Joe Burrow and Co., after all, conquered a 31-year drought by getting the best of the Las Vegas Raiders in the wild card round the week prior. - And before Saturday’s game against the Titans, Burrow apparently led a pre-game speech that had the entire Bengals locker room going wild. - Here’s the text from WLWT’s Mark Slaughter: - “I spoke with a guy who sat in the #Bengals team meeting last night where leaders of the team spoke & he said Joe Burrow emphatically said ‘why not us’ with a few expletives telling them NOBODY has beaten them this year unless they beat themselves sending the team into a FRENZY” - It’s a good mentality to have and for these Bengals, it rings pretty true. Some of the losses this year fell directly on iffy gameplans or execution by coaches, while a few just featured too many mistakes by players on the field itself. - And despite that, the Bengals beat the Chiefs, swept Baltimore and Pittsburgh and took NFC contenders Green Bay and San Francisco to three-point overtime finals. - Even if the Bengals don’t win on Saturday, it’s clear the culture has indeed changed for the foreseeable future. - - I spoke with a guy who sat in the #Bengals team meeting last night where leaders of the team spoke & he said Joe Burrow emphatically said “why not us” with a few expletives telling them NOBODY has beaten them this year unless they beat themselves sending the team into a FRENZY - — Mark Slaughter (@MarkVSlaughter) January 22, 2022 - - - - List - - 4 reasons Bengals will beat Titans in divisional playoffs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bengals Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bengals Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
