The Jags & Chiefs are beatable and can still be Division Winners. The Bengals could play one of them if the Bengals can get the right Wildcard spot
to do so. If they play Miami or the Ravens who knows just how healthy their Teams or Starting QB's may be by Playoff game time.
Having Zac help Browning return to better form and Win their way into the Playoffs would be a good sign for Zac's ability to Win some without
Burrow. Plus it would let us know that Browning can be a better than average backup. Browning is right now at the point where most backups that
have done well for a few games start to fall to earth and stay there. Maybe Browning can learn from the Steelers game and get more seasoned by
the experience to start playing better. Browning could Plateau, regress even more or get better in these last few games.
In my opinion, it would be a good sign if this Team could make the Playoffs and maybe Win a Playoff game without Burrow.
18 of the 32 NFL Teams would have been eliminated yet this Bengals Team gets into the Playoffs without Burrow.
The Franchises that make the Playoffs garner some respect and the sense that they earned something for their efforts.
They might as well earn it if they can.
