Bengals might not score next week in Denver. Offense is horrible right now.

Isn't it a penalty to dance with your opponent after a TD?

I swear the Steelers get away with so much shit that other teams get flagged for

I'm telling you, they play with a different set of rules.

But no way will Haley do that

Both are insane. Brown returns punts in Pro Bowl fashion, but Beckham probably the same if given the chance.

Brown little better route, Beck little better hands.

I take Brown but I'm biased.

I love it. Brady and Belichick made it the norm for them.

Next weekend shaping up to be a good one:
Redskins at Eagles (only because of the NFC east implications)
Patriots at Jets
Panthers at Falcons
Packers at Cardinals
Bengals at Broncos

I think Pats may make a statement

Panthers pull away in 2nd half

Packers at Cardinals....damn

Bengals at Broncos....playing for a week off. Should've a hell of a game but Broncos defense impressed me in the first half for sure. Bengals will pick off Osweiler a few times as his arm is a bit weak on a lot of shorter throws. Denver is tough at home.

New England clinches home field throughout with a win.
Cincinnati clinches a bye with a win, and with a New England loss and win vs Baltimore in week 17, would get home field throughout.
Denver clinches a bye by winning out
Kansas City clinches the AFC West by winning out and Denver losing a game
Houston clinches the AFC South with a win or Colts loss
Pittsburgh clinches a playoff spot with a win and a Jets loss

The Jets are the team who is in trouble. Not only do they have the toughest game (NE), but the Steelers (BAL and CLE) and the Chiefs (CLE and OAK) have much easier paths. Even if the Jets win out, they need one of those teams to drop a game.

For the Bengals, it's a nightmare scenario. A Denver loss is likely. They are going to win the North, but that puts them at the 3-seed, and the likely 6-seed is Pittsburgh. That would set up a rematch with Pittsburgh, and Andy Dalton trying to come back after just 3 weeks in the playoffs.

Thanks for the breakdown. I'll assume nothing though. If Cincy beats Denver and KC wins out.....would that put Denver the #6 seed and Pittsburgh the #5 (if they win out)....or would the potentially 11-5 Jets jockey into that 3 way tie-breaker?

It's a nightmare scenario for the Bengals. It just sets them up for another year where the Steelers break their hearts.

Not what I was asking ....basically wondering if the scenarios of the tie-breakers are different if Denver, Pittsburgh and Jets all end 11-5 and don't win their divisions.

It's the amount Mitchell got fined for a similar cheap shot on Tyler Eifert.
