Looking at the Bengals' remaining schedule, they have arguably 4-5 winnable games left.
NYG, WAS, DAL, HOU, and maybe MIA.
The Bengals could end up being 1-14-1 by season's end or they could be 6-9-1.
The entire NFC East is full of bad teams, so they'll beat up on each other and I think two of them will end up just ahead of the Bengals and the other two will pick ahead of the Bengals.
I think NYJ and JAX are also clearly worse than the Bengals.
It also wouldn't surprise me to see MIN, DEN, and/or LAC end up with a worse record than CIN. LAC has only beaten CIN and JAX. MIN already moved on from Ngakoue, which has made their team even worse. They may be tanking to try to get Lawrence or Fields.
And we finish with the Ravens who may well have their spot locked up and be playing the 4th string. It wouldn't shock me at all if we still end up finishing in the 5-6 wins range.
