Bengals' Joe Mixon trolls NFL with coin flip TD celebration

play

Joe Mixon reminded everyone how people in Cincinnati feel about coin flips.

After scoring a touchdown in the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens, Mixon flipped the coin and celebrated with gusto. After Mixon scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, he pulled a coin out of a glove and kicked it into the end zone.

On that day, Cincinnati could lose a home playoff game with a coin flip. The site of a potential Baltimore-Cincinnati wild-card game could be decided by a coin flip, according to a resolution approved by the National Football League on Friday. The game was canceled because of Hamlin's heart attack.

The players, coaches and front office were angry about the possibility of not playing a home game at Paycor Stadium.

In the wake of canceled games, a section of the rule book was posted by Mixon. The proposal that was eventually approved was the subject of a memo sent to all clubs by the executive vice president of the Cincinnati Reds. On Friday, Taylor lashed out at the rules.

There are positives and negatives for a lot of teams. We have the chance to play a game. We can only be impacted by that. We don't have the chance to flip a coin that will have a positive effect on us.

There was a lot of concern about the rule changes. With 14:06 left in the first half, Joe Burrow found Ja'Marr Chase for a 26 yard touchdown, giving Cincinnati a 17 point lead.

The wild-card game will be hosted by the Bengal's. If the Ravens win and the Broncos lose, the coin-flip scenario will take place. Los Angeles would get the fifth seed and Baltimore would get a third game against Cincinnati. The coin-flip opportunity to host third-seeded Cincinnati in the playoffs is what the reward would be for the Ravens. The Week 18 game between Baltimore and Cincinnati would have been for the division title if the Bills-Bengals game had been completed.

After the game, the coin flip will be held before the game.
