Tuesday Trenches: The NFL needs the Bengals in the playoffs

We’re through the wildcard round of the playoffs, and the AFC matchups had very little to offer. The Chargers went to Houston and were defeated by the Texans by a score of 32-12, and it was really never close. Justin Herbert picked a bad time to have a four-interception game.

Then there was the AFC North rivalry game between the Steelers and Ravens in Baltimore. Surely that had to be a great game, right? Nope. The Ravens won by a score of 28-14, but, again, it was really never close. The Ravens just walked all over the Steelers in another fairly boring game.
