The Cincinnati Bengals will finish the season around the 20th spot in the power rankings.
So says a new set of rankings from USA Today’s Nate Davis:
21. Cincinnati Bengals (20): Whether or not he wants to admit it after a 41-yard day, WR Ja’Marr Chase should probably concede K.C.’s corners are pretty tight.
This isn’t the final power rankings of the season, but the Week 18 game against a Cleveland Browns team likely fielding backups probably won’t move the needle all that much in the rankings.
It’s a fitting spot for a Bengals team that peaked well within the top 10 when Joe Burrow was healthy. A hobbled team going to Kansas City to still put a up serious fight against the Chiefs seems deserving of a spot in this area, all things considered.
