The Cincinnati Bengals (7-5) fell to the Los Angeles Chargers (7-5) at Paul Brown Stadium and it was a loss the Bengals could be haunted from depending on how things shake out over the final five games.
By losing to the Chargers, the Bengals missed an opportunity to pull even closer to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North race and more importantly, if the Bengals and Chargers end the season with the same record, the Chargers would win the head-to-head tie-breaker because of the Week 13 win. Prior to the loss, the Bengals moved up to the No. 5 seed after the win over Pittsburgh the week prior.
