Bengals Near Middle of the Pack in Latest NFL Power Rankings

Cincinnati is 4-2 and ranked near the middle of the league.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals are 4-2 for the first time since 2018, which is good enough for 15th in Sports Illustrated's latest power rankings. 

"They haven’t taken out any world-beaters, but good teams beat bad teams, and the first six weeks of the season have proven that the Bengals are—at the very least—not one of the bad teams anymore," Gary Gramling wrote. "Joe Burrow is back on track to become a franchise quarterback, but more impressive is the continued emergence of Lou Anarumo’s defense, which continues to be more than the sum of its parts."

The Bengals fell in the "They Could Make Noise in January" category of the rankings. 

The Ravens (4th) and Browns (9th) are ahead of the Bengals. The Steelers are a few spots behind (17th).
