Potential Bengals vs. Ravens Wild Card Game Location Could Be Determined by Coin Flip

The location of the game between the Cincinnati and Baltimore Ravens could be decided by a coin flip.

The proposal was made by the league.

Baltimore will not be able to host a playoff game because Cincinnati will have a higher winning percentage than Baltimore for a 16-game schedule. The site for the Wild Card game between Baltimore and Cincinnati would be determined by a coin toss. If Baltimore and Cincinnati don't play in the Wild Card round, the game sites would be determined by the regular scheduling procedures.

Regardless of the outcome of Sunday's game, the Bengals will be crowned the division's champion.

The Bengals will be recognized as the AFC North champions regardless of the outcome of Sunday's game, per league source.

A coin flip could end up deciding home field in a playoff rematch with the #Ravens. But Cincinnati has the higher winning percentage and has won the title.

Also, if the #Ravens win on Sunday and jump up to the No. 5 seed in the AFC, there won't be a coin flip if they face the #Bengals in the Divisional or Conference round. Cincinnati would host that game. Coin flip only applies to the Wild Card round if they're the 3-6 seed matchup.

The Ravens beat the Bengals in Baltimore. Cincinnati would win the division if it beats the Ravens on Sunday at Paycor Stadium.

Cincinnati is first with an 11-4 record, while Baltimore is second with a 10/6 record.

The suspension of Monday's game between Cincinnati and Buffalo after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during the first quarter needs to be looked into by the league.

Hamlin is currently in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

According to Alec White of the team, Hamlin is awake and responsive with the ability to move both his hands and feet, while also being able to communicate with his doctors, nurses and family members via writing on a clipboard.

The possibility of the playoffs being played at a neutral site was announced by the league if the teams played an equal amount of games.

What's at stake this weekend:

If the #Chiefs lose and the #Bills win, Buffalo is the 1 seed. AFCCG in BUF.

If the #Chiefs win and the #Bills lose, Kansas City is the 1 seed. AFCCG in KC.

If the #Chiefs and #Bills both win and meet in AFFCG, it'd be at a neutral site. https://t.co/447AxVtEhu

The final two weeks of the season will be played on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday Night Football will determine the final playoff picture.
