Will injuries play a factor? History plays a role, the Cincinnati Bengals, last year began in a rough patch before falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Title Game. Can the Super Bowl runners-up make a deep run again? Joining Les is Paul Domowitch, an NFL writer previously of the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News.
