Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:11:39 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — There’s nothing unusual about the Cincinnati Bengals being 5-4 at this point of the season, but they may look back on their early struggles and Sunday’s loss to visiting Houston as too much to overcome this year.Cincinnati was 5-4 each of the past two years and rallied each time to win the AFC North and reach the conference title game.

Stroud and the Texans. Last year, they won their final 10 games to claim the division title, and a similar run over the remaining eight games this year would be hugely impressive.The first step: traveling to face the first-place Ravens on Thursday night. Baltimore (7-3) is reeling after blowing a 31-17 fourth-quarter lead and losing ...
