ESPN still gives the Bengals a 36% chance to make the postseason.
The amazing thing, despite the Cincinnati Bengals sitting at 4-6 and sustaining some agonizing losses this season, is we hear about their chances to still make the NFL Playoffs.
After both losses to Baltimore this season, I’ve heard national sports personalities lament the Bengals’ chances and their beliefs that the Cincinnati Bengals can still make the Playoffs.
As of today, ESPN still gives the Bengals a 36% chance to make the postseason.
A big part of that is Joe Burrow has been great in November and December during the two full seasons he’s stayed healthy. Thursday night, I think we saw how last year’s game in Baltimore would have gone had Joe Burrow not gotten hurt. Burrow gave the Bengals chance after chance after chance to win the game Thursday night.
Considering the Bengals went 4-3 after that game in Baltimore last year with Jake Browning at quarterback, I think the Bengals could have gone 5-2 or 6-1 if Burrow had stayed healthy.
So, with a winnable schedule down the stretch and knowing how great Burrow is in November and December, I believe the Bengals can run the table.
We want to hear from you. Do you think the Bengals, despite being 4-6, will make the NFL Playoffs?
