AFC Playoff Picture: Bengals' Chances Rise Following Comeback Win Over Vikings

The Bengals rallied from a 14-point fourth quarter deficit to beat the Vikings 27-24 on Saturday. They've won 3-straight games and would make the playoffs if the season ended today. 

Cincinnati enters Sunday as the No. 6 seed. They have a 40% chance of making the playoffs according to the Wall Street Journal. They entered Week 15 with a 25% chance of making the postseason. 

The Bengals will still have a playoff spot following the rest of the Week 15 games. Their chances of making it could go up even more if the Browns lose to the Bears or the Bills lose to the Cowboys.

Next week's matchup against the Steelers is a huge swing game for their playoff chances. The Bengals have won 3-straight since losing to Pittsburgh 16-10 in Jake Browning's first start. 

They'll have a chance to get revenge and essentially end the Steelers chances of making the postseason next week.
