Bengals playoff scenarios after dramatic OT win vs. Broncos keeps season alive
NY Post
A back-and-forth game that saw the Broncos tie it with eight seconds left in regulation on a miracle touchdown pass, along with Cade York doinking a 33-yard field-goal attempt with 2:43 left in overtime, had to have Bengals fans thinking their team was cursed.
But the Bengals found a way to keep their season alive, with Joe Burrow connecting with Tee Higgins in the end zone for the third time with 1:07 left in overtime to give Cincinnati a 30-24 victory Saturday.
The team’s fourth straight win means the Bengals (8-8) will enter Week 18 still with a chance to make the NFL playoffs after their hopes seemed dismal at 4-8, though they will need plenty of help along the way.
Here are the Bengals playoff scenarios entering Sunday’s Week 17 contests.
Nothing else matters if the Bengals don’t take care of business again next week on the road against the AFC North rival Steelers, who won the first matchup, 44-38, in Week 13.
The Steelers (10-6) have lost three in a row but still have a chance to win the division if they beat the Bengals and the Ravens (11-5) lose to the Browns (3-12).
It should come as no surprise by now that the Knicks lead the NBA in minutes played by their dynamic starting five by a considerable margin.
WASHINGTON — Before Jonas Valanciunas signed his three-year, $32 million deal with the Wizards — a free agent contract that felt almost immediately like a future trade piece — the bruising center heard a little bit about the Knicks’ interest.
The 49ers and Lions sure know how to put on an entertaining show for a game that meant nothing to either team.
