Joe Burrow and the Bengals have had an up-and-down 2024. They started the year 1-4 and have won their last four games in a row. Cincinnati is 8-8 heading into a Week 18 matchup vs. the Steelers. The Bengals are not eliminated from the postseason yet and need a few things to fall their way.
First, they need to take care of business themselves to beat Pittsburgh. The Bengals also need the Jets to beat the Dolphins and the Chiefs to beat the Broncos. Even if the Bengals do not make the playoffs, they know they have a playoff-caliber team moving forward. Wide receiver Tee Higgins is set to be a free agent this offseason. Joe Burrow has told the media several times he wants the front office to sign Higgins to a long-term deal.
