The Cincinnati Bengals kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 30-24 overtime win over the Denver Broncos in Week 17. The offense once again led the team to victory, as they have in each of their eight wins this season.
Quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins had stellar performances against Denver's stingy defense, helping keep their postseason dreams alive. The trio must replicate their success in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and hope for losses by both the Broncos and Miami Dolphins.
Should any one of these three results not occur, the Bengals will miss the playoffs. If Cincinnati's season ends on Sunday, the game against the Steelers could mark the last time Burrow, Chase and Higgins play together. Both Chase and Higgins are in the final year of their contracts and are not close to signing extensions.
