So, what needs to happen for the Bengals to at least clinch a playoff spot? Besides winning out, that is.
We have a two game lead on 8th with 4 to play. There are no clinching scenarios for us this week.
If we win this week, and several of the 7-6 teams lose (Jets, Chargers, Pats), then next week we could clinch. Heck, if we win this week, there are gonna be scenarios for next week, as a loss for the 7-6 cohort would then out them 3 back with two games left.
If we win the next two games, the Pats cannot catch us since we play them after Tampa. We'd need one of the Jets/Chargers to lose one of their next two.
