In order to claim the No. 7 spot, the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins need to lose on Sunday. If the Bengals do make the postseason, coach Zac Taylor offered ablunt message to their potential opponents. "They're capable of everything," Taylor said. "They don't want us in this tournament, I promise you."

Following their 19-17 win over the Steelers, the Bengals' locker room was loud, players were hugging, music was playing and Zac Taylor made a point to personally congratulate everyone who played a role in the team's five-game winning streak that has kept their playoff hopes alive with one day remaining in the 2024 regular season.
