The Cincinnati Bengals’ slim playoff odds didn’t get much help in Week 12.
Despite a win over the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati didn’t gain any ground in the AFC playoff standings thanks to win by seemingly every playoff contender. That included wins by the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders.
The Bengals remain bunched up with them for one of those final Wild Card spots in the AFC. There was a bit of good news in the Jacksonville Jaguars losing to the Arizona Cardinals. That dropped Jacksonville out of the AFC South lead and into a Wild Card spot.
