NFL power rankings, Week 11: 32 teams’ playoff picture outlook
By Peter Panacy
L, 49-13 vs. Ravens
The Cincinnati Bengals should be the No. 32 team in our NFL power rankings, and they’ll probably be so next week if they end up losing to the Raiders.
Rookie quarterback Ryan Finley looked like, well… a rookie in Cincinnati’s attempt to thwart the Ravens’ playoff hopes in Week 10. And while that failed, the need-to-rebuild Bengals could still strive to pull off an upset in the second half, starting with Oakland, then the Steelers and possibly even the Patriots later in Week 15.
No, the Bengals won’t be seeing the playoffs for a long, long time.
