Stop if you’ve heard this before: this is a crucial game for the Cincinnati Bengals. They are using all nine lives at this point in the season to stay in things.
This game against the Los Angeles Chargers is even more important as the Chargers are one of the three Wild Card teams currently, so a win is more like winning two games. It is more likely that Cincinnati will catch the Denver Broncos in the seventh seed currently, but there is still a decent bit of season left.
The Chargers' defense has been superb this year.
