The Cincinnati Bengals held up their end of the bargain by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. But following the Denver Broncos' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bengals were denied entrance into the playoffs. That's a bitter pill to swallow considering Joe Burrow is an MVP candidate, Ja'Marr Chase won the receiving triple crown, and Trey Hendrickson led the league in sacks. Cincinnati's nucleus remains in place moving forward. A swift reset to return to postseason prominence is the 2025 goal. The Bengals own the No. 17 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. With improvement in mind, we've conducted a seven-round Bengals mock draft.
