As a look back at how far the Bengals have come, there was a post in Jungle News by jj22 that summarized where the Bengals were ranked on September 7, before our first game on September 12.

To summarize:

NFL.Com: 30th
CBS Sports: 29th
SI: 29th
Pro Football Talk: 29th
USA Today: 28th
Washington Post: 27th
Bleacher Report: 25th
Sporting News: 16th

The Vegas odds for the season were also for 6.5 wins and Cincy Jungle simulations yielded a high mark of 6.8 wins and low mark of 2.1 wins. (Post by Murdock2420)

Wow. Lol.

That is crazy when you view things that way.

What a Cinderella season.

Winning a SB would have to make this go down as THE MOST magical season in NFL history.

And Rosenthal had Joe Burrow listed as his 26th ranked QB. He ended the season at 4th

week 18 he was third. In the overall end-of-season ranking he was 4th.  Rosenthal moved Herbert back in front of Joe.

Maybe it was estimated draft position.  Bleacher Report really blew that one.
