The Bengals need to win out and they need some help if they're going to make the postseason. There's a chance they could get that help from a division rival this week. Cincinnati needs Miami to lose one of their final two games to have a shot at the postseason.

“Dolphins are downgrading Tua Tagovailoa to doubtful for Sunday’s game at Cleveland due to a hip injury, per sources. Tagovailoa still is pushing to play Sunday, but if he can’t, Tyler Huntley would be in line to replace him,” Adam Schefter of ESPN reported in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

MIAMI GARDENS — If Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a razor-sharp 26 of 30 passing in each of his next two games, he’ll finish the season completing 74.7 percent of his passes and narrowly surpass Drew Brees’ all-time single season completion record of 74.4 percent, established in 2018.
