The 2024 season was a nightmare for the Cincinnati Bengals. Just two years removed from a conference championship appearance and three from a Super Bowl run, the team failed to make the playoffs.
Everything that could go wrong for the Bengals did, as the team lost seven games by just one score. They were impossibly unfortunate and still had a chance at making the playoffs on the final day of the regular season.
It was a season that no Bengals fan would want to relive, and yet USA Today is predicting the exact same result in 2025.
