And they beat the Steelers, Bengals, and Seahawks before that, so what's your point? Also, as far as Cincy is concerned, shouldn't they BEAT a great team first before being called one? Their offense maybe fantastic, but their defense is highly overrated because they suck ass unless they get turnovers.
Oh boo-freaking-hoo. It's SD's own damn fault that they might not make the playoffs, so "superior team" or not, if they don't make it then too fucking bad.
