The Cincinnati Bengals are on the cusp of the AFC Playoffs, however they have to take care of some business first in Week 16.
At one point at the beginning of the season the Cincinnati Bengals were considered maybe the best team in the NFL overall, however they have had their ups and downs. But despite some of the struggles with this team, they still have hope to chase a potential Super Bowl.
So, how can the Bengals reach the AFC Playoffs?
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.
The Bengals are coming into this game on Monday night with a record of 9-4-1 overall, and that 10th win on the season would put them right where every team wants to be when the season is over, and that’s into the playoff race towards the Super Bowl.
Do you think the Bengals could clinch on Monday night? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
