When the Bengals beat the Steelers on Sunday, they came about as close as is possible to wrapping up a division in the middle of November. Cincinnati now effectively has a two-game lead in the division (thanks to their head-to-head tiebreaker advantage) with seven games to go. But more than anything, the easy schedule for the AFC North make it clear that we’ll likely see at least two AFC North teams in the playoffs.
As we mentioned last week, the remaining Bengals schedule puts Cincinnati in a very clear driver’s seat in the AFC North. Cincinnati’s next three games are against the Raiders (2-7), Browns (1-7) and Lions (1-7).
