Possible for the Bengals to jump us?

Don’t look now but the Bengals are still alive for the playoffs and are super motivated to beat the Steelers. The Steelers are going to be on a 4 game losing streak before heading to Cincy. If the Bengals win do they move past the Steelers in the AFC playoff standings?

Bengals have 8 losses...most we can have is 7.

In a word: no.

While bengals may well be alive when they face the Steelers on Jan 6, still VERY unlikely, IMO, for them to make the playoffs. Here's what they would need:
-win final 2, vs denver and at Steelers
-Denver lose vs chiefs
-both dolphins (vs browns, at jets) and colts (at giants, vs Jax) lose a game
