The Cincinnati Bengals have officially clinched the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
It came Sunday in the wildest of fashions, as Cincinnati rallied from a 35-12 deficit to force overtime in Miami, only to eventually fall 38-35 to the Dolphins.
With one game left to play, the Bengals have already had eight one-score losses this season, plus a 22-6 win over a 6-9 New York Jets team, who may have just ended the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff hopes. That makes for nine games the Bengals either won or had a chance to win if not for one or two more plays going their way.
Hopefully, that competitive nature in a lost season helps pave the way for more wins in 2020, which will certainly be aided by the Bengals having the No. 1 overall draft pick at their disposal.
Here is a look at the updated draft order heading into the final week of the 2019 regular season:
