But they may have turned a corner in getting back on track for a potential playoff push.

They still have to play a game against each of their divisional opponents, the Steelers twice, and also have contests against the Jaguars and Chiefs.
But perhaps one of the biggest game of the season for the Bengals will take place this Sunday night, as they will take on the Buffalo Bills in a must-see prime time match up.
