A proud franchise cratered in 2021, reduced to punchline status as loss after loss piled up and the team became increasingly non-competitive.

The Bengals beat the Chiefs and the Raiders topped the Colts this past Sunday, yet both winners sit below the teams they respectively vanquished in Dan Hanzus' Week 18 NFL Power Rankings?
