The Rans tied the all time SB record for sacks with the '75 Steelers and '85 Bears (umm that's impressive).
Not sure the Bengals could do much with that. On the other hand now that I'm thinking about it, maybe the 2 of 3 thing does indeed apply. Cincy gave up a SB record for sacks and were constantly pressured, but still was in the game to the very end with a chance to win until, yup another QB hit and pressure ended the game.

Oh, it applies. Like i said earlier, it's not a 100% guarantee but it's one of those things that bears out in the majority of cases. I'm kind of blanking on the phrase...maybe statistical probability...but it's one of those things things you see when you look deeper to find common denominators.
If you look at KCs 4 SBs, 3 of them the boxes were checked and they won. 1 wasn't checked and they lost.
