If you want a sign that the Cincinnati Bengals is a cohesive unit, then look no further than a comment from Ted Karras on Sunday after Cincy's 35-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons.
After the win, Karras made sure to point out to reporters that on one play when it looked like La'el Collins gave up a sack, it was actually him who made the mistake.
Karras said he "pulled" too early, which made it look like Collins gave up the sack.
The reason Karras wanted to put that quote out there is because he wanted to make sure that Pro Football Focus, the gold standard when it comes to player grades, didn't put the sack on Collins.
Stuff like that might not seem like a big deal to fans, but it shows that this team trusts each other and cares about each other.
And that's important when you're battling in the trenches together every Sunday. If that trust isn't there, then it's going to be a disaster.
We've seen the Bengals' offensive line improve as the season has progressed. And you have to believe that the chemistry between these guys is the main reason why that's the case.
