Making the playoffs is a foregone conclusion. At this point we just get to wonder how well they'll finish and whether or not it'll be good enough for a BYE. With 9 games left, if the bengals finish...
5-4, they'll have a 12-4 record.
6-3 = 13-3
7-2 = 14-2
To put this in perspective, if the Bengals finish 12-4, it'd be their best record since 1988, yet it'd be viewed as a disappointment after such a hot start. With the way the Broncos and Pats are playing, it may take at least a 13-3 record to hope for a BYE. That Broncos game could be huge.
