Last week: 21 (-2)

Record: 3-3

My preseason pick to be this year’s team that goes from in the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer, the Cincinnati Bengals, took another step forward towards that last week, losing to the Browns. Their 3 wins have come against Washington (3-3), Cleveland (1-5), and Jacksonville (1-4) and the latter two might be the two worst teams in the entire NFL

The Bengals have never beaten a playoff team in the Andy Dalton era (unless Washington, Cleveland, or Jacksonville make the playoffs) and 8 of their final 10 games are against teams that could make the playoffs this year (Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, Ravens, Steelers twice, San Diego, and Denver). Could take go 2-8 the rest of the way? It’s not completely ridiculous the way they’ve played the last few weeks.
