- Bengals’ playoff outlook, standings update after win vs. Ravens
The Cincinnati Bengals aren't out of it just yet.
Joe Burrow is back in it and authored the 32-14 takedown of the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving, moving the Bengals to 4-8.
Doesn't sound like much, but the AFC North is strange this year, to say the least.

That might not look like much right now. But the Bengals are 3-1 in the AFC North, best record in the division. They get the Ravens again in two weeks and could knock them down further. They also have another game against those Browns .
The Ravens still play tough games against Pittsburgh twice, plus New England , too. And the Steelers deal with Buffalo this Sunday, plus Detroit and three more AFC North contests.
Exiting Thursday, the Bengals sit 12th in the AFC. But the target is winning the division. If they can win out and get some help, though, a small sliver of hope remains.
