No, the Cincinnati Bengals are not out of it yet. You need two things to win late in the season. One is a good quarterback, and the Bengals have one of the best in Joe Burrow. The other is a good defense, and, well, we’re not going to talk about that.
The Bengals aren’t going to win the AFC North, but they have the potential to unseat either of the AFC North teams who are currently projected to make the dance. They could also take the place of either of the AFC West teams who are in position for a wild card berth.
