If anyone in the Patriots locker room is feeling over confident going into Monday night's game all they need do is look back one year ago.
Week 4 - 2006
One team was coming off an incredibly hot start, easilly dispatching their first three opponents and riding high.
The other team was coming off a shaky start, coming off a loss and lucky to have even one narrow victory, and now was faced with the prospect of playing the 3-0 team in hostile territory.
The 3-0 Bengals lost that game, with the Patriots pulling together to win convincingly following a squeaker against Buffalo, a close game against the Jets and a loss to Denver.
I'd be willing to bet someone in the organzition has given this history lesson this week.
