The 17th game of the Cincinnati Bengals’ season may not matter too much by the time kickoff ensues. If the The Kansas City Chiefs bounce back from their loss to the Bengals and beat (or tie) the Denver Broncos on Saturday night, the Bengals will not get a first-round bye for the AFC Playoffs.
In all likelihood, the third or fourth seed will be what’s on the line Sunday for the Bengals in their game against the Cleveland Browns.
Head coach Zac Taylor is already preparing like the Chiefs are going to win.
