Bengals Already Officially Eliminated From Playoffs After 10 Games

Well, the Cincinnati Bengals did accomplish one thing this season. As of yesterday evening, the AFC North basement dwellers earned the distinction of becoming the first team in 2019 to be officially eliminated from postseason contention after posting their 10th consecutive loss in as many games.

The Bengals are actually experiencing a period of futility that is unprecedented in their history, as never before had they lost 12 consecutive games, as they have now done going back to the Week 16 game of the 2018 season. The last team that they beat was the Oakland Raiders in Week 15.
