Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens
Now that we’re in July, it won’t be long before the Cincinnati Bengals report for training camp, hoping to begin a journey that ends with the team back in the Super Bowl.
In order to get there, the Bengals will have to navigate an AFC North that could very well produce three playoff contenders between the Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, and Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Cleveland Browns will likely remain toward the bottom of the NFL hierarchy.
A big reason why the Bengals haven’t been to the playoffs more often is not getting enough wins in their own division. They did manage to win the North in the 2021 and 2022 seasons, but since then, they’ve finished fourth (2023), third (2024), and third (2025) in the division. They haven’t finished with a winning record in regular-season division play since 2021.
Last year, the Bengals went 3-3 and split with all three of their division rivals. So, how will they do in 2026?
