24. Cincinnati Bengals

Every year, the Cincinnati Bengals always seem to be one of the favorites in the AFC, and while they tend to live up to the expectations by making the playoffs, this year turned out to be a different story for Marvin Lewis‘ squad. The Bengals saw their streak of five playoff appearances in a row come to an end in 2016 after finishing with a 6-9-1 record, and to top it all off, Lewis still has a job.

It’s amazing to think how Lewis has been to the playoffs seven times since taking over as head coach in 2003, and he is still search for that first win with the Bengals. Any other coach in his situation would have been fired years ago, but for some reason Cincinnati continues to give Lewis more chances than he deserves since it always ends in the team falling short of their goals.

On paper, the Bengals appeared to have one of the best overall teams in the league with a defense that always ranks near the top of the league along with an offense led by Andy Dalton and A.J. Green. Maybe if Cincinnati struggles again in 2017, that will finally be the last straw for the organization when it comes to parting ways with Lewis.
