CINCINNATI — The Bengals are clinging to slim playoff chances going into Saturday's must-win game against the Broncos.

Cincinnati only has a 1% chance to qualify for the postseason according to the latest DVOA model. That includes the possibility of the Chiefs resting some of their starters in their Week 18 matchup with the Broncos.

The Bengals need to win-out (Denver, Pittsburgh). They also need the Broncos to lose to the Chiefs in Week 18 and the Dolphins (at Cle, at NYJ) and Colts (at NYG, JAX) to lose one of their final two games.

Cincinnati has a 4% chance of making the postseason according to the New York Times.

The Bengals are 7-8 on the season. They've won three-straight games. If they win out, it'll be their fourth-straight winning season. They're in danger of missing the playoffs for a second-straight year.
