Following Saturday's blowout from the Los Angeles Chargers and a narrow victory from the Cincinnati Bengals over the Denver Broncos, the Indianapolis Colts' playoff chances are still alive heading into their final two contests of the season.

A minor upswing to close the season couldn't save Lou Anarumo's job. The Cincinnati Bengals fired the defensive coordinator on Monday, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

It will all come down to Week 18 in the Bengals' playoff push, as they'll need some win - and some help - to get into the postseason.

Brian Callahan and the Tennessee Titans secured the top pick with a 3-14 record. The New England Patriots held that spot prior to their regular-season finale, but a win over the Buffalo Bills dropped them to No. 4 at 4-13. The Cleveland Browns (3-14) finished with the No. 2 pick and the New York Giants (3-14) were slotted No. 3.

After the Cincinnati Bengals narrowly beat the Denver Broncos, the AFC playoff picture has gotten a lot more complicated.

In the end, the Bengals scored late in overtime as Tee Higgins completed the hat trick and gave Cincinnati a 30-24 win over the Denver Broncos Saturday. It’s the team’s fourth straight win as they get back to .500 at 8-8 and have themselves a pulse in the playoff picture entering Week 18.

The Steelers Week 18 loss to the Bengals was an ugly one, making it four straight for Pittsburgh, who lost out on winning the AFC North.

With some major help from Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, the Colts will take the field today against the New York Giants with their playoff hopes still intact. The Giants will enter today’s game with only two wins and having lost their last 10 games in a row. The Colts are the more talented and better team and need to operate as such.

It is no secret that the morale of the Pittsburgh Steelers is at the lowest it's been all season in 2024, as the Black and Gold's Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals completed what can only be described as late-season collapse.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are in the market for a new starting left tackle in 2025. On Tuesday, the CFL club announced that they have released American offensive lineman Trevor Reid in order to pursue an NFL opportunity.
