The Cincinnati Bengals continue their playoff hunt for a AFC Wild Card position Thursday when they take on the lowly Philadelphia Eagles at 8:20 pm ET.
Cincinnati (7-6) was in line for a fifth straight win before allowing 10 points in the closing minutes of a 20-19 home loss to Dallas on Sunday. Dan Bailey's 40-yard field goal as time expired kept the Bengals from taking over the final AFC wild-card spot after Pittsburgh lost to San Diego.
Cincinnati's Andy Dalton threw for 206 yards with a TD and an interception, getting sacked five times. Dalton has been picked off three times in the last two games after not throwing an INT in the previous three.
A.J. Green was held to three receptions for 44 yards and failed to score for a third consecutive game after finding the end zone in nine straight. He had two key drops, one of which could have gone for a touchdown in the third quarter.
With their loss Sunday the Bengals are now tied with the Steelers, but Pittsburgh holds the tiebreaker by virtue of its 24-17 win at Cincinnati on Oct. 21. The two teams, who trail AFC North leader Baltimore by two games, meet in Pittsburgh next weekend.
Meanwhile, the Eagles snapped an eight-game losing streak last week, but are still riddled in controversy and uncertainty.
Andy Reid is still the head coach, but his future with the team remains in doubt. Reid's job security has come into question as the Eagles dropped from Super Bowl contender at 3-1 to one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL at 4-9.
