On today's show, we talk about where things stand for the Cincinnati Bengals, entering their bye week at 5-4 in the hunt for the playoffs. First, we talk about an excellent performance from Joe Mixon, who posted 211 all-purpose yards and a team-record 5 touchdowns. From there, we look at how that performance can change the landscape of the Bengals season, especially with their offense's ability to win in different ways. Later, we review the AFC playoff race, including some tough conclusions about where the Bengals stand in the AFC North. We take a look at how the Bengals stand with the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Los Angeles Chargers in their playoff race, plus which teams give Cincinnati the most cause for concern.
