It is still a long shot, but Bengals still have to win out. Cleveland has always given us trouble and the Browns defense is still very good.
Denver is a very good team as well. But if we win the next 2, we have the Steelers waiting. Ideally, the Steelers beat the Ravens and seal the division this week. Then the Steelers beat KC, making KC's week 8 game against Denver meaningful.
It is the NFL, you never know, but my hunch is we come up a game short again. You can't lose a game to a bad NE team and expect to make the playoffs, then lose 2X to Ravens (again), lose to SD, lose to KC and have a horrible AFC record as a result.
The Bengals need change. They need to revamp the defense and fire Lou in my opinion. I also wish they would hire an OC so Zac can focus on both sides of. the ball and special teams. It is a ton of work to be OC and HC. Reid has an OC, and he is an offensive genius.

2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
