That’s why establisher Bengals star T.J. Houshmandzadeh isn’t ready to commence celebrating fair yet.
“I don’t understand if it’s exciting – we’ve been teams that won’t be participating come carry outoff time,” the ex-Bengal shelp in a recent interwatch with Fox News Digital.
Cincy faces its division rival in the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday – losing to them, 41-38, earlier this season – but Houshmandzadeh will be brimming-steam ahead if the Bengals can split the season series.
“That excitement will be genuine excitement Friday if we’re victorious over the Ravens. To me, that is the hugegest key. You have to beat the better teams,” Houshmandzadeh shelp. “You have to beat the teams that people don’t await you to beat. You dug yourself a hole, now you got to get out of it. The Ravens is one of the teams that you see first as you’re getting out of this hole. That excitement is not there yet until we commence beating teams that we ponder outstanding teams.”

The fans have been excited, though.
Houshmandzadeh joined the Bengals loyal at a recent tailgate as part of his novel partnership with Tide, where he recklessly downed some Skyline Chili with zero repercussions.
“Obviously, you’re going to drink, eat, carry out games. I stained my sweater – Skyline Chili all down my sweater – and I was disnominateed. But then I’m appreciate, ‘Tide is going to spotless this better than ever.’ So I was perfectly fine with it. I knovel that Tide tackles the stubbornest of stains, so I was alright,” Houshmandzadeh shelp.
“Being out there with the fans was a outstanding experience. I hadn’t done it before. It was fun. No one is doing a game day appreciate Cincinnati. I’m prejudiced, but it was awesome, I had fun, and I see forward to doing it aget.”
And, for what it’s worth, Houshmandzadeh is brave the Bengals will pull out the triumph on the road.

“I am brave, but I don’t understand if I say that with my heart or my head,” he shelp. “You see at the first game, up 10 with less than four minutes left, you got to triumph that game. … If they get that same offense and fair a little bit more from the defense, evidently we would triumph.”
