The ball squirted out and Joseph Ossai fell on it for a touchdown 30 seconds left in the half, pushing the Cincinnati lead to 24-7 at halftime. "Our players did everything they could to handle it the right way, so now we get a chance to put this one behind us and just focus on the playoffs.” Devastation turned to relief later in the week as the Bills safety showed positive signs of recovery. The Bengals are hoping their listless second half doesn’t spill over into next week. The Ravens also rested two of their biggest offensive weapons, Mark Andrews and J.K. “I’m looking forward to next week and seeing these guys again,” Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith said. Burrow then went 7 for 11 on a drive capped by Mixon's 1-yard plunge. Baltimore needed to win and have Denver beat the Los Angeles Chargers later Sunday to prompt the coin toss. The Ravens (10-7) fought gamely behind rookie third-stringer Anthony Brown, who got the start after throwing just five passes all season. NFL owners approved the coin-flip scenario because the cancellation deprived the Ravens of an opportunity to win the division. The frightening episode led to their game against the Bills being suspended and later canceled. 2 seed in the AFC ended when Buffalo beat New England.

Baltimore will return to Cincinnati on Wild-Card Weekend to open the playoffs against the Bengals.

It's going to come down to who plays the best ball." But there will be no holding back in the playoffs, when all the healthy starters will play, and there will be no holding back regarding each team's gameplan and strategy. We're going to go out there, with whoever we put out there, and give it our best shot." "I'm going to be rooting for that and hoping that happens. It's just going to be who's the better team. Cincinnati's 27-16 victory over the Ravens (10-7) locked Baltimore into the No.

Bengals running back Joe Mixon flipped a coin and then kicked it away when he scored against the Ravens on Sunday.

With the Ravens starting rookie quarterback Anthony Brown and resting key players Mark Andrews and J.K. Dobbins, the Bengals aren’t having much trouble squashing the potential coin flip scenario. If the Bengals (11-4) lose to the Ravens (10-6) in Week 18 and they were to face in the wild card round, the league would flip a coin to decide home field.

Fresh off Sunday's 27-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, Bengals QB Joe Burrow gave a confident answer when asked about the importance of taking ...

Of course, the Bengals have yet to win a Super Bowl in three total tries. Completing 25 of 42 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, Burrow wasn't particularly thrilled with his afternoon but saw the bigger picture of getting a win in order to rightfully celebrate. "And everybody we have in that locker room, all the coaches we have, things are gonna change year to year, but our window is always open."

The Sporting News looks at the playoff seedibng possibilities for the Bengals ahead of their Week 18 game against the Ravens.

If the Bengals lose that coin flip, then Ravens would host the game. 1 seed, nor can they fall to the fifth seed, with the Bills vs. If the Bills beat the Patriots, then Buffalo will claim the No. The Bengals can finish no lower than No. The cancellation helped the league avoid late-season logistical nightmares. Although the range of implications is narrower atter the NFL canceled the Bills-Bengals Week 17 game, there are still significant stakes attached to Cincinnati's AFC North showdown with Baltimore on Sunday; specfically, the Bengals would earn the No.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had a message for the NFL league office on Sunday, and it was waiting inside his glove.

The Bengals got what they were looking for on Sunday, and now their attention turns to winning the Super Bowl. After beating the Ravens on Sunday, the Bengals are right where they wanted to be at this point of the year. Burrow has been playing the best football of his career, and Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has been befuddling some of the best offensive players in the NFL with his game plans. Hendrickson added another highlight to his Pro Bowl season, and the Bengals took a 24-7 lead into the half. Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson broke free off the edge, got a strip-sack against Brown and forced a fumble that was recovered by defensive end Joseph Ossai in the end zone. Karras predicted a win over the Ravens, saying they’d settle the North title on the field and laying out his plan for a postgame celebration on Sunday. Because of the rule changes, if the Bengals lost on Sunday, there could have been a coin flip to decide the location of the Bengals’ first-round playoff game. After an interception by Mike Hilton, the Bengals' defense ran to the end zone and pretended to fall asleep. After Mixon plunged into the end zone for a touchdown, he brought out the coin. The Bengals won their second consecutive division title and finished the regular season with a 12-4 record. For what felt like the 100th time this season, the Bengals used a source of motivation to fuel another win, beating the Ravens 27-16 at Paycor Stadium in the regular season finale on Sunday. Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn sent a memo to the NFL about her frustration.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals will attempt to reach a second straight Super Bowl after ending the regular season on an eight-game win streak.

Make no mistake about it, running back Joe Mixon is all of us right now. After scoring a touchdown in their regular season finale against the Baltimore ...

Considering that the Ravens decided to rest their key starters and are playing their third-string quarterback Anthony Brown, the Bengals should leave this game victorious. This coin flip would only happen if the Ravens defeat the Bengals and the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Denver Broncos. There is also a scenario where they might have to flip a coin for home-field advantage if they end up facing the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional round.

The Baltimore Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18 action. Will tight end Mark Andrews suit up for the AFC North matchup.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon took a shot at the NFL after scoring a touchdown Sunday afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens.

As the cigar smoke swirled and the music thumped Sunday to celebrate the AFC North title, the Bengals saluted history by going back in time to take advice ...

"We didn't move the ball in the second half. "I think after that a lot of guys went and watched it." He's going to have to step up but we have all the faith in the world in him." It was a great message and it definitely clicked for us." On Saturday night he went old school to keep the theme going when he showed his team a clip from the 2000 movie "Gladiator," a film depicting a fallen Roman general struggles in ancient times. "The fight scene in the bowl," said cornerback Mike Hilton. It was a bang-bang play," Boyd said. Cappa had his ankle rolled in the pocket late in the third quarter and the talk around his locker was he was out for the rest of the playoffs. Boyd had five catches for 51 yards, but not before he took a shot and went into the medical tent, where he was cleared to return. So I was like, I'll put it on the side of my glove." "I can't stress enough when I've gotten a lot of credit this year, 60 percent of it goes to Alex Cappa. It landed on tails and we kicked the hell out of that."

CINCINNATI (AP) — With a playoff spot assured and only a No. 5 or 6 seed at stake, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh rested several starters and we...

The Bengals played all their regulars on Sunday and suffered a couple of injuries. ”What matters is how we come out and prepare for the playoff wild-card round. The Bengals have won three of the last four meetings. Brown threw a pair of first-half interceptions and lost a fumble in the end zone that was recovered by the Bengals for a touchdown just before halftime. Moving up to the fifth seed and earning a home playoff game would have required a win over the Bengals, a win by the Los Angeles Chargers over Denver, and a successful coin flip. 5 or 6 seed at stake, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh rested several starters and went with undrafted rookie Anthony Brown at quarterback in a 27-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Hours before kickoff, fans stalked the gates of Paycor Stadium and turned the tailgating lots into a sea of orange and black.

Is it fair to expect another four turnovers when [Anthony Brown](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/anthony-brown-P7aQOH45O2lAuZbY/) is watching from the sideline? That’s the thing with Burrow and these Bengals. The Bengals offense couldn’t move the ball after halftime and looked sluggish for long stretches against one of the best defenses in football. Sunday provided cracks of real concern when the Ravens rested starters but were still able to find success with 110 yards on the ground. “That’s probably the best (celebration) all year,” Jessie Bates said. 9 to believe this could be the first of multiple celebrations over the next five weeks. “This year, we have gone about the season preparing ourself to play our best football this time around in the postseason. They tied a franchise record with eight consecutive victories and tied for the most wins in a regular season in team history. Cincinnati enters the postseason in as good of shape as any team could hope. The scene was a party. The same Ravens team that will return to Paycor Stadium next week so an undercurrent of holding back the full attack serves as an asterisk to a 27-16 win.
