Cincinnati is 5-2, thanks to rookies Andy Dalton and A.J. Green – but can they contend in the AFC North? They have already surpassed their win total from last year and have won 4 in a row. The Bengals play at Tennessee (4-3) next Sunday, followed by a four-week stretch against AFC North opponents that will give them a good feel for how they match up. They’re tied for second with Baltimore, a half-game behind Pittsburgh for now. We will take a look again after that tough stretch of games that is Pittsburgh home and away, at Baltimore and home against Cleveland. Come out of that at stretch at 8-4 and they stand a decent chance at a playoff spot.
How real are the Bengals?
