You have to give the opponent credit for 3 straight, but everyone suddenly conceding that Cincinnati is superior is ridiculous. They're going to have to beat KC convincingly, without relying on flukery and major help from the refs, before I would concede that. This game was well in control before the fumble. And they were incredibly lucky to have that INT nullified, along with 3-4 more back-breaking calls.
Sure, they won in the trenches. That's happened a MILLION TIMES in the Mahomes era. When Mahomes went 14-1 in 2020, it was seemingly happening on a weekly basis, yet they were clearly the class of the AFC.
