The Cincinnati Bengals suffered one of their worst losses in franchise history against the Baltimore Ravens over the weekend.
But the team sure keeps winning in the draft order race.
Week 10 was quite fruitful in this pursuit. The Miami Dolphins picked up another win, this time over Indianapolis to make it two wins on the season.
Ditto for the New York Jets with a win over the New York Giants, as well as Atlanta upsetting New Orleans.
Those big winners of the weekend join the four teams sitting at two wins. Five more have three wins. Just one — the Washington Redskins — have a single win.
And then there are the 0-9 Bengals.
The Bengals stand alone atop the draft order and haven’t shown much in the way of progress on the field by comparison, to the point it’s fair to wonder if a coach could get fired.
With the way things have gone, it sure seems like the Bengals could keep a tight grip on the first pick without much of a problem. It’s hard to fathom 0-16, but one look at the remaining schedule doesn’t produce any guaranteed wins.
If nothing else, onlookers can take solace in the fact the top pick should mean the arrival of a new era at quarterback.
