The Cincinnati Bengals have an inherently difficult road back to the NFL Playoffs on account of playing in a division with the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, but they got a bit of a lucky draw compared to some of their division rivals. Just like the other AFC North teams, they have to play the AFC West and NFC East, but the Bengals get the New York Giants and Denver Broncos at home.
