Bengals News: Where Bengals stand in playoff rankings after loss to Steelers

[Coco]

The Cincinnati Bengals entered Saturday with a grip on a playoff spot and merely needed to win games and get a little help to make the postseason. They left it out of the playoff picture. While the Bengals aren’t completely eliminated from playoff contention, their loss and a Buffalo win later in the night knocked them far down the board:

• Ravens (11-3)
• Dolphins (10-4)
• Chiefs (9-5)
• Jaguars (8-6)
• Browns (9-5)
• Bills (9-6)
• Colts (8-6)
• Texans (8-6)
• Steelers (8-7)
• Bengals (8-7)

While the Bengals aren’t eliminated, they need wins over the Chiefs and Browns to close the season and some help. Easier said than done, but that’s life in a stacked AFC when a team goes 0-5 in its division and 3-7 in the conference.
