9. Cincinnati Bengals (9)

One of the most interesting situations in the NFL is Marvin Lewis and how the head coach has managed to keep a job with the Cincinnati Bengals despite his inability to win a playoff game.

Lewis has reached the playoffs seven times with the Bengals since taking over the coaching duties in 2013 and what’s even more sad is Cincinnati has reached the postseason in each of the last five seasons well. So when taking all of this into consideration, it’s amazing to still see Lewis as the head coach of this team.

Making the playoffs is always an accomplishment, but Lewis has nothing to show for it from his years in Cincinnati. While the Bengals are expected to be one of the top contenders in the AFC once again, it’s not going to mean anything unless Lewis’ inability of winning in the playoffs comes to an end.

Otherwise, Bengals fans are just setting themselves up for another year of heartbreak.
