The Cincinnati Bengals needed a win against the Denver Broncos, and they squeaked out a 15-10 victory.
Also, the Bengals needed the Raiders to beat the Cleveland Browns, and they got that.
Now in control of their own destiny, the Bengals have their sights on a division crown and their first playoff birth in six years. They close out with games against the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, and a season finale against the Browns. They really can’t afford to lose another division game if they want to win the AFC North, and they can’t afford to lose both if they want to make the playoffs altogether.
