There’s a pulse. The Cincinnati Bengals are still alive for the NFL Playoffs.
The Bengals have a 24% chance of making the playoffs if they win their next two games. That means the Bengals need help and a lot of it.
In addition to winning out, the Bengals need the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins to each lose one of their next two remaining games, respectively.
The Bengals also need the Denver Broncos, their Week 17 home opponent, to lose in Week 18 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
