Well, if you called for the Bengals to tank the rest of the season, they didn’t listen. Cincinnati kept its postseason hopes alive with a 30-16 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
It was the first time the Bengals won since late-October, as they ended a deplorable 1-7 stretch. Even so, the win wasn’t without warts. Here are the winners and losers from the Bengals in Week 15.
Winners:
Joe Mixon: The second-year running back had his career-long run in 47 yards in the first half and inched his way closer to his first 1,000-yard rushing season.
