Where do the Bengals, Steelers rank in playoff probability after the Browns clinch their spot?

The Cleveland Browns have punched their ticket to the playoffs after a big-time win over the New York Jets. Do you know who hasn’t yet, however? AFC North foes in the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Browns now sit at 11-5 on the season with a chance at the AFC North title still. They will need some help to get there from the Miami Dolphins this weekend, but it is not out of the realm of possibility.

The Steelers and Bengals, however, share the basement of the AFC North with records of 8-7 apiece. They still must battle it out with the likes of the AFC South trio and the Buffalo Bills for two remaining wildcard seats.

While the Browns sit at a 100 percent chance to make the playoffs, where do the AFC North basement dwellers sit in their pursuit of the postseason? Here is every NFL team ranked by their probability to make the playoffs according to ESPN’s FPI with just two weeks to go.
