Was the Patriots win only luck? Hart: The Bengals only lost two fumbles all year last season, they lost two in the first game of the season. What a play that was to force the fumble the old fashioned way. Enjoy this win. I think the dynasty has been cleansed. You can now enjoy a win that would be sad in past years. Expectations were so low that winning was a blessing. Do the Patriots need amazing QB play?You want to just be invested in your team. We have taken things for granted, now enjoy the small things, people.
