so the Bengals need 3 things to happen to make the playoffs in addition to winning out, and one of those things happened today
Colts need to tie or lose - this happened today
the other two being
Miami needs a tie or loss - they are playing Cleveland right now, and are up by 3 early
Broncos need to lose to KC. Chiefs has already stated they will rest their starters, and the Broncos would LOVE to get a win on KC, so this one is not likely to fall to us
so
I still say play to lose for the best possible draft spot
