Here's updated NFL playoff picture, with Bengals 12th in AFC standings

The Cincinnati Bengals are back in the hunt in the updated AFC playoff picture ahead of an NFL Week 14 game against the Bills at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium.

The Bills helped the Bengals' chances of winning the AFC North by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. Cincinnati improved to 4-8 with a 32-14 win Thanksgiving night against the Ravens in Baltimore.

The Bengals trail the Steelers and Ravens in the division by two games. Cincinnati hosts Baltimore in Week 15.

The three teams positioned for AFC wild cards, the Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts and Bills, all have 8-4 records, so winning the division appears a more likely path to the playoffs for the Bengals at this time.

NFL Network's Next Gen Stats estimates the Bengals' current playoff probability at 2 percent.
