I just checked the record and the Bengals are still in 4th (last) place. They have to become a 1st place team or a 2nd place team or sometimes a 3rd place team makes it to the playoffs, however sometimes a 2nd place team does not. 4th place teams don't make the playoffs, at least none has ever in the past.

To date, Taylor has never had the Bengals higher than 4th (last) place in the division, not even for a game.

 

Well considering there has only been 2 playoff spots per conference until this year, that's completely understandable that a 4th place team has never made the playoffs. Potential, however so slight, does exist
