The Bengals beat the Steelers 19-17 on Saturday night to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Now Cincinnati needs some help if they're going to make the postseason.

The Bengals need the Chiefs to beat the Broncos on Sunday. They also need the Jets to beat the Dolphins. If those two results go their way, then Cincinnati will get the No. 7 seed in the AFC.

The Bengals have won five-straight games. They finish the season 9-8. They've posted a winning record in four-straight seasons.
