CINCINNATI- The Bengals needed a few AFC wild-card contenders to lose on Sunday, and only one of them did. Cincinnati received a little help last week following the Colts’ loss to Detroit, but it didn’t change their outlook much.
Losses to Denver and Miami would have been much more impactful, but they won as heavy favorites.
Cincinnati now has a 12.8% chance to make the playoffs on ESPN’s FPI. They can’t lose another AFC game this season, especially since Miami has passed them in the AFC standings in recent weeks (Cincinnati holds the 10th seed in the conference and has the most losses of the AFC among all competing teams).
