The Patriots have dominated their way to 8-0 this season, looking nearly impossible to stop in the process. Still, Steve Young believes there is one team in the NFL that’s capable of beating them: the Cincinnati Bengals.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and ESPN “Monday Night Football” analyst was discussing the upcoming “MNF” matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans this week, and he suggested that none of Cincinnati’s games will matter until January, when it might have a chance to face the Patriots.
“There’s only one thing in my mind to look forward to, that’s the Cincinnati Bengals, can they take down the Patriots come the end of the season?” Young said Monday. “I want to see this football team. I want to see all aspects — live and in person — because to me, the Bengals are the ones that can take down the Patriots. Of anyone else in the league, the Bengals are the ones.”
That’s probably the most respect the Bengals have received from analysts all year. Plus, Steve Young knows his stuff. His opinion should be respected.
The NFL Playoffs are just around the corner, so hopefully we’ll get an answer then as to if this Bengals team has enough fire power to top the high scoring Pats.
