The Back Story
These teams have a lot in common.
Neither team has a “playoff experience” advantage.
Since 1990, the word “winning” itself has been foreign to Bengal players, while the Jets start a rookie quarterback.
Both teams feature starting running backs who are cast aways from Chicago. Thomas Jones was released by the Bears to feature a fourth overall pick named Cedric Benson. Jones would land in New York, while Benson underperformed and was shipped off to Cincinnati where his career has been revived.
