Joe Burrow and the Bengals easily defeated
It’s time to support the 49ers and stop being a fence sitter.
Earlier in the season, Joe Burrow and the Bengals easily defeated San Francisco.
Here we are, Super Bowl LVIII (58), and some of us Bengals supporters from Cincinnati are still undecided about who to support this evening. Some will be content with the food and drinks and won’t give a damn.
However, for those who are interested, below are a few details that may help you decide.
The quarterback Brandon Allen, who is presently listed as a third-stringer behind Brock Purdy and former New York Jet/Carolina Panther Sam Darnold, is the lone former Bengal on a Super Bowl team this year.
Despite spending most of his three years in Cincinnati as a backup, Allen did had to assume a starting role when Joe Burrow was injured.an injury that ends the season in the autumn of 2020. Despite Allen’s struggles, they managed to defeat the Houston Texans 37–31 thanks to a 371-yard, two-touchdown performance.
We should take a close look at the 49ers’ desperate need for another game-winning play.
In a 21-16 loss, Allen threw for 136 yards and a score in the 2021 season finale vs the Cleveland Browns, which he also started.
Alternatively, you might decide to stick with the AFC. In 2021, the Bengals advanced to their third Super Bowl appearance by winning the AFC Championship game. In 2022, Cincinnati advanced to the AFC Championship game once more but was defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs, who went on to win the Super Bowl.
With two Lombardi Trophies to show for it, the Chiefs are making their fourth trip to the Super Bowl in the last five years.
In light of everything, I believe that perhaps we need to cheer on the San Francisco 49ers. That’s rather difficult to say.
, considering the fact that it was the 49ers who denied Cincinnati Super Bowl success on the Bengals’ first two trips to the Super Bowl.
But this is how I see things. This season, Kansas City defeated the Bengals 25–17, preventing Cincinnati from making it to the postseason. That’s all, then.
Most significantly, though, early in the season, the Bengals defeated the 49ers, 31-17, led by a healthy Joe Burrow. Cincinnati may boast of defeating the Super Bowl champions on their own ground if San Francisco prevails in Super Bowl LVIII. And if given the chance, they might have done it once again.
If only Burrow’s health had held up. If only the Bengals were in the top ten
