The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for an AFC North showdown against the 3-11 Cleveland Browns.

Despite a painful season for the Bengals, playoff hopes are still alive, but every game has to be won if the team has any chance.

The one game-at-a-time mentality that Zac Taylor always preaches couldn’t be more true, and the Bengals MUST beat the Browns for any hope on Sunday.

The Bengals are winners of two straight (Cowboys, Titans) and are sitting at 6-8 overall.

Joe Burrow is currently putting together an MVP season, but it has been overlooked due to the Bengals’ defensive struggles all season long.

Ja’Marr Chase is currently chasing the triple crown and leads the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.

On the defensive side, Trey Hendrickson leads the NFL in sacks and is putting together another monster Pro Bowl season.

With all this being said, the Bengals must win out and hope for some help from other teams around the league to get into the playoff picture.

On the other sideline, the Browns have had a horrid season and sit at the bottom of the AFC North.

The Browns are set to start Dorian Thompson-Robinson this week against the Bengals in hopes of a spark on offense.

The Bengals saw some of DSR in their week seven win over the Browns, 21-14.
