My playoff simulator says this: "What if Boyd doesn't drop that touchdown pass? "

It's still possible that the Bengals could get the 1st overall seed if everything plays out the way I just put into the sim.
Bengals still have the slimmest of chances to win the division if the Ravens lose out, Bengals win out, and CLE and PIT each lose at least two games.
Bengals can jump up to top seed in AFC if MIA only wins against BAL, JAX only wins against BAL, and Chiefs basically lose out.
Never thought I'd say this after Burrow's injury, but I can't believe there's a chance to make the playoff after all, even the smallest of chances to win the division.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
