The Cincinnati Bengals have had a terrible season. With preseason Super Bowl expectations, the team has consistently come up short in games they should have won.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t bode well for having an NFL MVP, as team success is part of the equation. However, Cincinnati is getting a career year from superstar quarterback Joe Burrow, who inked an extension to be the highest-paid player in the NFL in 2023.
Burrow’s Bengals are still unlikely to make the playoffs, but there is a statistical chance. They will need to beat the Broncos in Week 17, the Broncos to lose the remainder of their game and the Colts and Dolphins to each lose as well.
