CINCINNATI — The Bengals have to beat the Steelers on Saturday night to keep their playoff hopes alive.

They also need a few things to go their way. If the Chiefs beat the Broncos and the Jets beat the Dolphins on Sunday, then Cincinnati will reach the postseason for the third time in four years.

What’re the chances of that happening?

The Bengals currently have a 4% chance of making the playoffs according to The New York Times. Those odds go up to 7% with a win over Pittsburgh.

If the Bengals win and the Jets beat the Dolphins, their chances go up to 17%. If the Bengals win and the Chiefs beat the Broncos, their chances go up to 43%.

What’re the odds that all three happen? It’s unlikely, but it isn’t impossible. The Bengals play the Steelers on Saturday night. The Dolphins and Broncos both play on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

The Bengals are still alive, even if their chances of making the playoffs remain slim.
