Are the Bengals a lSB contender, and when was the last time they got further in the playoffs than the Steelers?

I think they will make it to the playoffs as much as I HATE to say it (and trust me it just kills me inside) but they won't get further than that as for getting further than the Steelers I can't remember back that far all I know is it ain't gonna happen this year just cause they beat us the season ain't over yet ANYTHING can happen!!!
