Cincinnati is looking to keep its playoff hopes alive against Cleveland this weekend.
Believe it or not, the Cincinnati Bengals’ season is still alive, despite having one of the most frustrating years all around.
At 6-8, the playoff dream is not dead yet, but the Bengals MUST win out if they want any chance of getting into the postseason.
Cincinnati has three regular-season games remaining vs. the Browns, Broncos, and Steelers.
First thing is first, the Bengals need to take care of business against the 3-11 Browns this upcoming weekend.
Some important news broke earlier today as head coach Kevin Stefanski made the decision to bench Jameis Winston for Dorian Thompson-Robinson against the Bengals.
Winston was benched near the end of the game this past weekend against the Chiefs, and the coaching staff plans to keep things going with Thompson-Robinson in Cincinnati.
Robinson has already seen action against Cincinnati this season. Back in Week 7, he completed 11/24 passes for 82 yards and two interceptions.
This is a much more favorable matchup for a Bengals defense that has struggled most of the season.
