However, to really get back into the playoff fold, they will need to go 3-2 or better.
The big games I see are vs PHI (will Hurts and co. run all over this defense?) and at BAL and LAC.
CLE could also be tough but less worried about it now that even if Chubb is activated for this game, it will be his first game back from serious injury, so he might not get an entirely full load. Also, Cooper traded away helps reduce their effectiveness in the passing game (even though it wasn't very effective anyway).
The "easiest" win I think is the Raiders.
If the Bengals go 3-2, they'll be 5-6 with 2x PIT, DAL, DEN, CLE, and TEN to finish out the season.
3-3 after the Bye should be the minimum expectation.
if the bengals are healthy..they have a shot to win all the games you speak to
