Around these parts, we’ve said that the Bengals finishing the month of September with a 3-1 record would be gigantic in their playoff chances. Though it was by the skin of their teeth, Cincinnati pulled off this feat with a comeback win against the Falcons in Atlanta.
With the win, the Bengals continue to sit atop of the AFC North, though it’s by a pretty thin margin. Each of the four teams have notched at least one win so far in the first month.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns continue to suffer both bad luck and their stepping on their own toes.
