Editor's note: This post has been updated with new information. 

The Cincinnati Bengals are trying to make the 2024 NFL playoffs, but they'll need some assistance to get there.

The Bengals took care of business on Saturday night in Pittsburgh by topping the Steelers, but that won't be enough to confirm a playoff berth.

The team also needs the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets to tie or beat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday to clinch a playoff spot, per The Oklahoman.

Yes, it will be difficult for Joe Burrow and company to have those two games go their way, especially with Kansas City sitting key starters.

We'll see what happens on Sunday, but we might have to wait until later in the year to see Burrow and the Bengals play again if this all doesn't work out.
