It felt like the Cincinnati Bengals had locked up the third spot in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Then, they decided to go out and get on their longest winning streak of the season, downing both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans. They’ve actually looked good these past few weeks.
However, with those improvements does come some negative consequences. The Bengals have now dropped to the No. 5 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, and that could still change depending on what happens on Sunday when they close out the season against the Baltimore Ravens.
