The Cincinnati Bengals have been facing an uphill battle to reach the playoffs this season, and the situation has only gotten more difficult with the recent injury to rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. The Bengals have a tough remaining schedule, and with Burrow out for the rest of the season, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that they will be able to make a playoff run.
The Bengals have a record of 2-7-1, and they are currently in last place in the AFC North. They have four games left in the regular season, and all four of them are against teams that are currently in playoff contention. The Bengals will face the Pittsburgh Steelers twice, the Houston Texans, and the Baltimore Ravens. All four of these teams have winning records, and they are all playing at a high level.
The Bengals’ chances of making the playoffs were already slim, but they have been further diminished by the injury to Burrow. The rookie quarterback was having a great season, and he was one of the main reasons why the Bengals were even in contention for a playoff spot. Without him, the Bengals will have to rely on backup quarterback Ryan Finley to lead them to victory.
The Bengals have a tough road ahead of them if they want to make the playoffs. They will need to win all four of their remaining games, and they will need some help from other teams in order to make it happen. It’s going to be an uphill battle for the Bengals, but it’s not impossible. If they can pull off some upsets and get some help from other teams, then they still have a chance of making the playoffs.
