The Cincinnati Bengals remain on pace for the top pick in the 2020 NFL draft coming out of Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns.
After a brief week of that victory feeling, the 1-12 Bengals remains the only solo-win team in the NFL via the loss to the Browns. Meanwhile, a few notables like the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins took losses.
The top of the race looks like this, per Tankathon:
- Cincinnati 1-12
- NY Giants 2-10
- Washington 3-10
- Miami 3-10
Those New York Giants are the lone threat to the Bengals right now and they suit up Monday night for a game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Regardless of the result there, the Bengals sit in a good spot — at least for the next week or so. Cincinnati doesn’t figure to have much of a chance against a visiting New England Patriots team next weekend, not with Tom Brady and Co. playing for AFC playoff seeding.
The Bengals close the season against New England, Miami and Cleveland and remain favorites for the top pick in 2020.
