It’s pretty simple, but it’s not at the same time. On Monday night the Bengals will be featured in the Monday Night Football game where they can get themselves into the postseason with a win or a tie.

However, the team they’re up against has something they’re playing for as well. With a win over the Bengals or a tie, the Denver Broncos would clinch the AFC West. The Broncos are already in the postseason, but a division title would be that much sweeter.

Bengals win

Next: San Diego Chargers

Home/Atlanta Falcons
