Key Matchups: Bengals Host Ravens in Regular Season Finale
CINCINNATI — It has been an emotional week with the fallout of the Damar Hamlin situation—but the Bengals are ready to suit up for their regular-season finale against the Ravens after Hamlin's positive progress this week.
Sunday's game has a lot at stake, even with Cincinnati winning the AFC North by not resuming their Week 17 game against the Bills.
The Bengals have to beat Baltimore to secure a home playoff game. If they lose to the Ravens and face Baltimore in the Wild Card round, home-field advantage gets determined by a coin toss.
NFL owners cemented the playoff format after a meeting on Friday afternoon.
Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn, Zac Taylor, and players all voiced their frustrations on the NFL's playoff changes.
A Cincinnati win would avoid the coin toss mayhem. Let's take a look at this week's matchups.
Key Matchup of the Game: Joe Burrow vs. Ravens Secondary

DJ Reader vs. Tyler Linderbaum, Ben Powers, Kevin Zeitler
