CINCINNATI — No Bengals coaches were named finalists for the AP's Coach of the Year, or Assistant Coach of the Year.

The NFL released a graphic naming Nick Sirianni, Kyle Shanahan, Brian Daboll, Sean McDermott, and Doug Pederson as finalists. But the AP cleared that up and said Daboll, Shanahan, and Pederson are the final three.

On the assistant side of things, AP voters chose Lions OC Ben Johnson, 49ers DC DeMeco Ryans, and Eagles OC Shane Steichen as finalist.

Lou Anarumo did not crack the list.

The Bengals got some representation for Joe Burrow on the MVP finalist list.

He joined Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Bills QB Josh Allen, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, and Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson in the final grouping.

Mahomes finished the season as a heavy betting favorite (-675), while Burrow sits with the second-best odds to win the award (+750).

Cincinnati fights Kansas City for a spot in the Super Bowl this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. The game is available via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
