Cincinnati's playoff aspirations seem more robust now than they did a few weeks back; however, their path to the postseason hasn't crystallized yet. Paul and Jay discuss myriad playoff scenarios including potential ties in Cincy's final two games. Bengals fans are stargazing about this team's future, but don't take this potential playoff run for granted, you never know what the future holds. Jay delivers stats with more meat than an Arby's Original Roast Beef. Mo then joins the show to praise the "punching bag" Bengals for punching the Ravens back.
