The Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow dropped a deuce of considerable size against the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday. Courtesy of a 20-point blowout, they now drop to 3-5 on the season, their playoff future precariously on the edge. With nine games left, what chance do they have of reaching the postseason?
“I think 10 wins usually gets you in”, Bengals QB Joe Burrow said after yesterday’s loss. “So we’ve got to win seven out of nine. That’s doable. That’s doable. So we’ll go from there”.
Were this most other teams, such a statement would be laughable, of course.
