The Cincinnati Bengals finished the season 9-8. Good enough to make the playoffs in the NFC but it gets you a last-place finish in the AFC South. Backup QB Jake Browning played exceptionally for the most part down the stretch. However, the Bengals defense, a strength the past two seasons, let them down. With a healthy Joe Burrow, they likely make the playoffs but I am not sure how much advancement they make with the defense.
