The Bengals' playoff chances got a boost on Sunday when the Giants beat the Colts.

Cincinnati has won four-straight games to get to 8-8 on the season. The Bengals have a 21% chance of making the playoffs following the Colts' loss according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

The Bengals need to beat the Steelers next week, they need the Dolphins to lose to the Browns on Sunday or the Jets next week. They also need the Chiefs to beat the Broncos in Week 18.

If those three things happen, then Cincinnati will make the playoffs this season.

Check out the playoff percentages in the AFC below:
