The Cincinnati Bengals have not won a playoff game with Marvin Lewis as their head coach, but maybe that will all change this season. The Bengals have gotten out to a solid start to the 2018 season, and Andy Dalton is playing at a high level, so who knows what the rest of the season will bring.

Cincinnati has the skill players needed to make a run, as AJ Green is one of the best wideouts in the league, and Dalton is a perennial Pro Bowler. In addition, the team has gotten better up front on the offensive side of the ball, bringing in Cordy Glenn, as well as using a first round pick last year on center Billy Price.

On the other side of the ball, the Bengals have some solid player up front as well, but could use some more depth on the interior of their defensive line. One player who could really help them is Jerry Tillery, who is a big reason why the Notre Dame Fighting Irish look like a College Football Playoff team this season.

The Bengals have Geno Atkins in the middle of their defensive line, but Tillery would be a guy they could slide in at the nose. He has the strength to push around offensive lineman, and on a Bengals defense that has shown improvement this season, he could be a missing piece up front.
