The possibility of a neutral-site championship game was one of the factors that led to the adjustment of the playoffs. 1:45
According to sources, many in the Cincinnati organization feel that the decision to reward the Ravens with a home game in the playoffs penalizes the Cincinnati team.
The league told theBengals that they should be happy, but they were angry that the rules were changed on the fly and their path to the playoffs was altered.
Cincinnati might not have had anything to play for on Sunday if the game against the Bills had been played on Monday. The site of next weekend's possible wild-card game against Baltimore will be determined by the outcome of Sunday's game between the Bengals and Ravens, and they will have to play players who might not have been on the field.
If the Ravens win in Cincinnati and the Bolts win in Denver, the coin flip will take place. Los Angeles would play either Buffalo or Kansas City in the first round, while Baltimore would play Cincinnati. The coin flip opportunity to host third-seeded Cincinnati in the playoffs would be the reward for the Ravens, even though they lost the division title to theBengals. The Week 18 game between Baltimore and Cincinnati would have been for the division title if the Bills-Bengals game had been completed.
If they win the division and open the wild-card round on the road, they will be the first team to do that.
The team believes that it has been treated unfairly by the league and that the Ravens have been given added opportunities. The new playoff scenario was not approved by the Cincinnati vote. The bengals voted no and voiced their opposition to the league.
The scenarios were approved by the competition committee. The teams were told to vote against the scenarios. There was a rule change in this scenario that was related to her reason.
The off-season is the best time to make rule change. When the vote takes place immediately before the playoffs, it is not appropriate to put teams in a position to vote for something that could affect their own situation.
There are a number of scenarios in which the game could be played outside. If the Bills and Chiefs both lose on Sunday, the Bengals could factor in. If Week 18's games shake out like that, there will be a neutral site for the title game.
The regular season ends at Las Vegas. According to a source, the commissioner is expected to be in attendance at the game between the Bills and the Pats.
