Notes: It was another early elimination from the playoffs for the Cincinnati Bengals. They were AFC North champions then met Pittsburgh at home in the AFC Wildcard playoffs. Mental errors were critical in their 18-16 home defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers that put a horrible feel to the entire season. Andy Dalton suffered an injury in Week 14 that prevented him from playing in the playoffs. He completed 66.1% of his throws last year for 3250 yards with 25 touchdowns and 7 picks. Returning in the backfield are Giovani Bernard, Jeremy Hill and Rex Burkhead. A.J. Green is the main target in the passing game along with Brandon LaFell and the talented tight end Tyler Eifert. Cincinnati had the 15th ranked offense in 2015 as they averaged 358 yards per game.

The New York Jets were a 10-6 team in 2015 but failed to make the playoffs due to tie breaking scenarios. They had some drama in the offseason as they signed quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick late in the free agency period. Fitzpatrick hit on 59.6% of his throws for 3905 yards with 31 touchdowns and 15 picks. A addition to the backfield for New York will be all purpose back Matt Forte acquired in free agency. He joins Bilal Powell. Out wide for Fitzpatrick is main target Brandon Marshall along with Eric Decker. The Jets were the fourth ranked defense in all of the NFL as they limited the opposition to 318 yards per game.
