The Cinderella Cincinnati Bengals got past the Las Vegas Raiders, and now set their sets on an upset over the top seed Tennessee Titans on Saturday.
Going for worst to playoff berth is one thing, now they are trying to become the fourth team in 13 seasons to advance to a conference Championship Game the year after finishing last or tied for last in their division.
With a win, Cincinnati would join the 2017 Jaguars and two teams that went on to win the Super Bowl — the 2017 Eagles and 2009 Saints.
Cincinnati completed the “worst-to-first” turnaround, winning the AFC North this season after finishing in last place in 2020. At least one team has won its division the season after finishing in or tied for last place in 17 of the past 19 seasons (2003-21).
