Currently at the 6th position in line to make it to the playoffs in the AFC. The Bengals have a trio of tough competitors in front of them. They lock horns against the Pittsburgh Steelers next as they vow revenge for a loss earlier this season. A victory here will balloon their chances from 42% to 61% of making the playoffs.
But Browning and Co. will have even tougher competition later. Their last two games of the season are against the Super Bowl winners, the Kansas City Chiefs and their divisional foes and the favorites to go to the playoffs, the Cleveland Browns.
